Really? I always like the look of the 93 Cobra R. I would lower it, polish the center caps, and pull the black tape stripe:

No, he doesn't.
Cobra R rims are just way overdone, the rims he has gives his car a more unique look.

Basically, you're running a variation of what I've got ... except I'd rather have yours than mine.

Might look a bit more "finished" with black painted center caps on there. Maybe paint them but leave the Ford oval in the middle of 'em bare (if they have the logo there), and see how that looks. I just run mine with my 'nuts showing because I haven't gotten my hands on a set of centercaps, yet.

It's not so much the showing of lugnuts that detracts, it's more a matter of the spindle caps and bare axle centers showing that stands out kinda negatively - maybe paint those with some high-temp caliper paint to match the rims and see how that goes?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Doesnt' matter what you do, those rims will always look like they are missing the center caps if they are not on there.

I like the stainless center caps... I almost bought the black 93 Cobras... but I'm very glad I went with the original color. 93 Cobras FTMFW!

I think your car would look awesome with 10 holes. I have a nice set I'll sacrifice in even trade for those junk Cobras if you insist.

It looks ok man but personally I have never been a fam or black rims. I'm not sure what started black rims but they just seem beat to death by the rice crowd.

Yeah idk man, im not a fan of '93 cobra wheels, let along black rims, or the chrome lip. Even on a 1993 cobra. You put a set of nice 17 cobra r rims on there or something along those lines, and it will be like a day and night.
