Although the current rims are nice I say go with the anniversary replicas. The darker rim will blend better with the overall theme/style of your car.

Sorry for the picture quality but the 10th's are nice. Although you already have a nice set of rims I would spend the money on suspension first and you can shop rims at a later date. I have maximum motorsports suspension pieces on my car CC plates and bilstein struts and shocks. In hind sight since I dont drive my car that often I wish I would've ponied up the extra few bucks for the coil overs

as previously stated the cobras are good for covering up the 4 lug, but are too bright for the already bright red. go with the 10th wheels. they will add more color and will add some darkness against red. not that you care but im planning on going with the anthracite fr500s against my red 89 hatch. i used this pic to make up my mind, maybe it will help you. its not an lx or a notch but its red:

I've always wanted the Cobras for my notch when i had it. They just look real good imo. This vid is what made me want them so bad.

I like the Cobra's but I have to agree with Newskool and say a darker wheel will suit the car a bit better since it has tinted windows and smoked headlights. Either way its a nice car! Really makes me miss my '92

So guys shoot some recommendations on suspension .. I need sfcs and battle boxes but suspension wise tell me what you guys like for an all around car mainly being built to be a stout street car - My last setup I did on my 00gt just consisted of h&r super sport springs all new front end components and kyb gr2s it handled great sat slammed but rode a little too rough , I wAnt about an 1-1.25 drop and a decent riding car this time .

I have H&R R&T springs on my hatch and I'm really happy with them. I would recommend going with full length sub frames, I went with standards and now I wish I hadn't.

I've got the 17x9/17x10 10th Anniversary wheels on mine, in triple chrome and I get nothing but compliments on the look. My coupe is black though. I'll post a picture when I can.

Personally....I love the Cobra "fan blades" on yours. Makes the car look really clean.

141.9??? is that 1.41 per liter? 3.8 liters per gallon = 5.35 a gallon??

On another note I really wish the 4lug anniversary cobras would have been available when I converted to 5 lug. I would have stayed 4 lug and saved a ton of money.

Yup....suddenly $4 per gallon doesn't sound so bad, does it. Especially when you consider on top of it all, our dollar is currently worth more than yours.

Love '93 Cobras, but never liked them on a coupe. They look best on a Cobra or GT.

I feel your pain! I am trying to figure out what to replace my wheels with. I was looking at the Cobra (fan style) or the 10th anniversary wheel. Why is it so hard?
