Need some opinons/advice...

I'm looking into buying a set of deep dish (18x9) Cobra Rs. My car is a white 2003 GT with dark tint. I'm not sure if I should get the wheels with rivets or without them nor if I should get them on black or gunmetal, please help, if you have any pics of these on your cars please post them.

Thanks,

Carlos.

I'd say 18x9 and 18x10 black ones without the rivets. I think the rivets make the wheels smaller and look cheesy. Leave the rivets for the multi-piece forged wheels.

No rivets, only makes the wheels harder to clean.

Gun metal with no rivets would be my choice. As much as I am not a fan of Cobra R's, the new DD versions are nice though...

I am definitely not a fan of the old Cobra R's.....but my choice would be gunmetal without the rivs.

I would say gun metal, no rivets between those four wheels. However, I like chrome Cobra R wheels, no DD, no rivets better, but I'm biased.
