I settled on some of these...ROH Drift-Rs...I got them from Group A...I emailed em back for a better price and they knocked it from 1695.00 to 1595.00...
18x8 5x114.3 bolt pattern +20mm offset / 5.29" backspace with Pirelli 245/40r18 P7000 Super Sport and 18x9 5x114.3 bolt pattern +20mm offset / 5.79" backspace with Pirelli 275/35r18 P7000 Super Sport mounted and balanced with locks & wheel locks delivered to your door.

Havent really seen these on an SN95, but i think they'll look sweet....plus these have the deep dish, fronts are 2" and the back 3"....

My cars in like 20 pcs for painting....got the Cobra front, HO fibertrends 1 1/2 cowl,,,so it should look damn sweet in a couple weeks.... :bang:

I like the look of the 98 Cobra, so this was a natural for me...I came real close to Saleen reps....This place had the whole deal, and thats what i want...unwrap em and bolt em on...

I was gonna go 9" in the front to, the rears are 9" with 275s, so that should look good...I was kinda leary of hanging some big meats on the front....i would prefer to beef it up some first. i didnt want bumpsteer issues and such.....these will do for awhile...
 
NICE CHOICE ANDY!!! Those are one of my favorite wheels and I SERIOUSLY concidered getting them for my car instead of bogarts, but I've wanted a 10.5" wheel with a 315 series tire too long to not do it. I think people's jaws will drop when they see them on your car, in fact I know it! I sure as hell will!!!
 
YOU BAST@RD! You haven't seen them on a SN95 yet because I haven't got mine yet.

Just kidding, man :) ; I do love those rims, but they don't have them wide enough in 17''s. You got to love the thin 5 spoke look with a nice wide lip! These are the only ones I've seen with both (Borbet has a model that comes close, but not quite).
They're going to look great on your car! Nice choice :nice:
 
Thanks guys...

I did take a look at the Borbet's....I couldn't locate the one I wanted, It had a nice dish on it also...

I can always send em to Weldcraft to widen them up....Thats a Winter project though...
 
Nice choice Andy! They do look similar to 98 Cobra wheels, but you gotta love the deep dish look! :drool:

I would eventually like to go with 315's in the rear. I see a lot of people doing it with a 9" rim so would I really need a 10.5" or is that mostly just for looks? If I could get by with a 9" it would be tempting (2K Cobra R's), but if 10.5" is a much better choice then I might reconsider.
 
And as always, Andy will have nine-thousand pictures of the car when the wheels are on and the random parts get squirted. He always seems to include pictures of his garage too..... :bang:

They are sweet wheels though, and I'm definitely looking forward to pictures.
