The 03 10th anni's look great on Grover's car.

I would go with FR500's. They look the best. I wanted them SOOO bad on Hack Job, but couldn't swing it with the axle I used.

i like the anny's as well,
but for some reason cobra r's got me stuck on 5 spokes which is why the r's and 03 cobies look imo the best on all foxes. it takes certain color and stance to pull of other wheels....

HEY MODS: Is there anyway to get a poll on this.maybe another thread or something listing all the wheels on mustangs. such as the one mentioned in this thread. 4 lug and/or 5 lug....

I like the standard '03 Cobra wheels on the GT above myself.

It all really depends on the car though. I wouldn't necessarily pick the same wheels for a GT as I would, say a Notch-back. Colour has a lot to do with the type of finish I would want as well. Dark cars = polished, or chrome finish. Light cars = machined or painted.

Okay....be different.

Go with 18" Y2K Cobra R's. Silver. Those are money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If I kept my 96 Cobra and did NOT buy the 04, I would have these mounted this spring. With some cashflow out on the 04, though, I don't wanna spend more dough on wheels I don't need. lol

lol.
yeah i really like cobra r's,03 cobies aand bullits. bullits are a toss for me though, cause too may factors make them look good(color,notch or hatch,gt etc). cobra r's are universal and 03 cobies are the same just flush instead of the dip in each spoke....so idk

ps. 89stang you got any rear shot to see the tire width...

im so sick and tired of R's. I dont even like them on R's. the 03-04 cobras are ok, but they are on two many cars. i like my bullits, but are also on to many cars. i really like the 10th whee;s though

Good point.

Of all the wheels mentioned above, the '98 Cobras are my favorite. As the others mentioned though, it all depends on the car they're going on.
