ugh, fake-riveted wheels? really? the only "rivets" that belong on a wheel are bead locks that hold on a slick...


i actually dont mind the 18" wheels you have shown in the pic, they look like the 05-09 "fanblades" kinda... i say rock them and take some good pics and post em up for us to judge

No way on the 20's, probably not the 18's either. Find something good in 17 inch.

banning doesnt help with the stupid gene... a line of 50 guys kicking the person is the sack is the only way to prevent the stupid gene transfer

50 guys or 5.0 guys?

He seems to be pretty lenient on his decisions and basing them upon what we suggest. I have seen this car in person, we passed each other a couple weeks back and chatted a bit.

Personally I do not think the 18's were all that bad. I agree with mounting all the 18's up and post up pics for us. Sorry, but I don't do PS so I cannot help there.

We met up on 162nd right by safeway and burgerville. Might have been your brother I guess. Paint looked good, definitely unique but from a rolling distance not too shabby.

If we have to pick our battles, I'd ban the LS1 swap guys before I'd ban the 20" guys, haha.

ok Guys what do u think of these rims

ok what do u guys think

Selling my 95 Cobra R wheels. These are original Ford Racing wheels, made in USA, not the cheap replica ones. Paint on the wheels is in good shape

The fronts have Toyo Proxes 4 tires, size is 215/45R17, they have less than 3000 miles on them, I paid $350 for these two tires alone.

The rears have 245/40R17's on them, they are Fuzion ZR1's, not much tread left but still legal to drive on.

One center cap is missing.

do u guys think there worth $400 and a day drive to get them here is a photo think they look good on my stang

some people will jump on me but I always liked the cobra r wheels on "some" foxes. I don't think they should be totally tossed out has a wheel choice. I think they will look good since they look good on fiveohwblow's car and his is pretty close to yours. I'm with the others though and stay away from the 20" wheels and even some of the 18's look like crap on these cars. 17" are always a safe bet.
