Hey guys I was able to try on a set of 03 cobra rims (thanks Ben) and I was wondering if they look good on my car? What do you guys think?

The way it is now '96 GT rims 17x8 245/45

03 cobra 17x9 275/40
I want to be different and not run the same rims everyone else runs.

03 Cobra's...just about any Cobra/Cobra R rims look good. I prefer 'muscle rims' on fox's like Weld, Centerline, Mag and the like. Kinda goes along with the theme. But if you have your heart set on Cobra's they do look good

Just for kicks this is what 17x10.5 with 315 DR look like on a fox. I had to bolt on a 1" spacer just to make them work.

This was the donor car. Thanks Ben..

You should try Torque Thrust II's on it. I think Les Schwab has a virtual rim selection. I love those rims.

Yeah I think your right... The 03 cobras look nice but I think they don't really match on a coupe.

thats just like mine

I just got finished with a 5lug conversion on my 92 lx coupe. I am running the 03 cobras on it and am pleased with the outcome. Still need to be lowered but that will happen soon enough. Id love to see your car in person not too many coupes around here. Where are you located?

Both sets of rims look sweet on your car.

Man the 03 rims look huge on a fox body, they dont look that big on the current platform. Wonder why
