I think your car will be nice either way, but I would stay with the cobra rims. You have a nice clean look, I'm always 50/50 on the SC rims; nice deep dish look, but once there on a car I get tired of looking at them. They almost remind me of the 90's hammers.

A set of staggered FR's with a custom metallic silver spokes and a polished lip would look sick with that paint.

FR has always been my plan , just alot money to spend between wheels and brakes but I may just do it

I was scrolling through the pages and must have missed what springs you have. The car has a nice stance. I have the eibach pro's w/ the 04 cobras and I still have a little over an inch between the fender and tires. I was thinking about taking out the isolators but I'm afraid ride quality will suffer.

I've got the silver 17x8s and 17x9s on mine and I love them. They were my ideal wheel until I saw how clean the cobras look on your coupe. Now I have a new favorite

Leave the Cobra wheels on, and use that money elsewhere! Those wheels look great, and are rare to see on a coupe. That $2K can get you a nice top end kit for a stroker motor.

A nice 347 stroker will easily put you in the 12's (if you can drive worth a ), and will be reliable and easy to maintain if you keep from going F/I. Plus, there arent many things cooler than a semi hot cammed small block screaming at 7,000 rpms!
