So I'm finally going to buckle down and buy wheels within 3 weeks, but there are some
decisions to make... This is on my black vert and it's a daily driver so keep those in mind.
I want to know if I should go:
--->9" or 10.5" rear?
--->silver or chrome or black chrome
View attachment 523807


--->200X cobra or cobra r




So these are my questions, any suggestions, i'm stuck...
-silver are cheaper. 9" rear better for daily driver?

nope, he's got the black ones with the polished lip--- these are black chrome- just a darker chrome with the same shine

i seriously just saw the black chrome pop up a few days ago so i have no idea what they'd look like on the car, i'll try to do a quick photoshop
edit: (no go on the photoshop- i stink)

do you think 10.5s are like efficient for driving 40 miles a day for school? and do you think the black chrome would look good on a black/black vert cuz it looks like it might be the wrong color for a black car

i had 17x8 front and 17x10.5 chrome cobra r's on the back of my cobra and it looked SWEET and there was no problems driving at all, i often drove it to school which is 32 miles from my house. i got 245/45/17 front tires and 275/40/17 rears though a 295 or a 305 would probably be a better fit. the 275's were slightly too narrow. heres a pic (bad one, but it gives you an idea

The 10.5's will not hurt you in the slightest. Only help in the traction department.

Get the smallest you can in the front (17x8), and the biggest you can in the back (17x10.5).

why are you so enthusiastic about those, cuz you think they'll look killer on my black stang or because you wanna see those on a stang?

(not trying to be rude or anything- just asking)

unless i can find an unbeatable deal on some other ones (which i just may have found) i think i will go for the black chrome wheels.. only drawback is that it'll probably take like a month to get them on cuz i'm goin on vacation soon and wont be back for a few weeks
