I'm thinking about new wheels.

I'm pretty set on 17x9's & 275/40's all the way around, I want to be able to rotate them to extend tire life. I dunno about 18's...I tend to think I'm better off with a little more tire sidewall on my daily driver. I do like the '00 Cobra R 18's, but I've heard they don't fit up front real well on the 94-98 cars. (If you've got experience with them on a 94-98 car, I definitely want your opinion; I like that wheel a LOT.)

I was thinking about the 10th anniversary Cobra wheels, might look good, & aren't '95 Cobra R's, which are everywhere. Plus, they're not real expensive. Whatcha think?

i would go with the 10 anniversary wheels over the y2k cobras. You don't see too many anniversary wheels around and they are pretty sweet.

I personally like the your stock Cobras. I'm NOT a fan of the 10th anniversary Cobra wheels. Unique does not equal good.

I would throw on some polished or chrome Y2K's or Bullitts, those look great IMHO.
