My new wheels for the Notch!!!

EPIK · Oct 17, 2008

After long debate about trying to fit my deep dish black 03 Cobra wheels on my 91, I figured that the 10.5" rear was gonna be too much of a pain trying to get to fit right, & they would stick out a little, I decided to jump on these instead. They are deep dish 10th anniversary Cobra replicas that I got off Ebay. The sizes are 17X9 & 17X10 These arent the same crappy ones that 50resto will be selling, these are only available from OE wheels & the quality is the same as all the wheels I have bought from wheelreplicas. There are subtle differences between these & the OEM ones like the curvature of the spokes by the lip, but they still look great IMO & I will be swapping out the centercaps for some SVT or running pony caps... I Cant wait to mount these on the Notch!!!

17X10 rears...

17X9 fronts...

Difference between the 2...

those wheels are badass! nice choice!

what's the offset/backspacing on those? they don't have as much lip as all the other 9's and 10's i've seen, including my saleen sc's. GORGEOUS though, gah!

Pretty freakin' sweet... I just wish you had included a pic of them on the car though.

They dont look anything like Cobra rims to me, but thats what I like about them.

Nice! I'd prefer the bars extend all the way out to the lip like the originals but either way, those wheels look damn good.

FrankenStang · Oct 18, 2008

I honestly dig those rims!

Yeah the lip isnt as deep, but is very similar to the 18X10 FR500 lip...

Will be on the car soon but I still have to finish the 5 lug swap....

Thanks for all the feedback guys....

I can't wait to see them on the car!! The thing I didn't like about the originals was the no lip/dish. Hurr up and get them on now!!

SVT32VDOHC · Oct 18, 2008

Nice choice man! Those are sweet. GEt them on your car and post up quickly....lol

Dean85GT · Oct 18, 2008

I really like those wheels. Do you know if they are available in 17x8 for the front? I dont think I can get a 17x9 to clear my coilovers

Dude - those are friggen sweet!

I hear ya... I always loved the style of the 10th's too, but deep dish is the only way for me to fly nowadays...

As far as I know the fronts are only available in 17X9 since these arent made for foxes... I do wish they were an 8", but the 9's will do just fine...

foxmustangman · Oct 18, 2008

Those are sexy! Throw those on asap! I love those wheels so much!

MAC'n89Blckstng · Oct 18, 2008

Those are nice as hell!!! The dish is identical to my stern replicas. Good choice, although those deep dish 03 Cobras would have looked sick.

What brakes are you running? I have the 99+ brakes in the front and clear 17x9 and 18x9's with coilovers.

04 cobra brakes. My 17x8s look dangerously close with 245/45/17s out front so I am nervous of putting anything wider on
