I want to get 17s up front and 18s out back. My 2" drop makes my car look inlclined (which I love) and think it looks sick, and with a little more incline, I think it'll look a lot better. I have the 99 Cobra wheels now and was looking for 18s in the 99s but didn't find them. I'll look at the 17s and 18" saleens now that I know where to get them. Thanks

this is the polished 99/01 cobra wheels on my car.



I love the saleen wheels in 18" better. It fills the wheel well so much better. Maybe a 1" drop, and it looks sweet.

I have those wheels on my car right now and love them, but there are no 18" ones for the back.

welcome to the club
it cost me friggin $55 on a gas fillup today
WTF!!
I've never had to pay much in my life

my wallet hurts

There's a guy in town 95Vert that went 19s in the front and 20s in the back.
I know it sounds obsurd, but he wanted a larger wheel base in the rear.

imo
I wouldn't do it.
I'd stick with the same size all around
17s... 18s... whatever you decide.

I know that I'd probably end up spending more money on wheels and crap but I seriously think the look is worth it. I really think 19s and 20s are too big for our cars, perfect for 05 but not for us.
