Have a chance to sell my 17" Chrome Cobra R's.

Thinking of going to an 18" rim.

What do you guys think of these? I like the style of the wheel and that they are a little different than most of the Saleen Replica's.

Let me know what you guys think. YAY or NAY

I dont really care for em strictly because of the faux screws in the lip. It kind of goes along the same lines as putting Cobra Badges on an LX and way too big cowl hoods over a stock motor. Other than that ,the look sweet

Looks good but I would be concerned that every pebble you drive over felt like a rock.

I gotta say no just because I like the boring and more expensive authentic rims over cheaper imported rims achieved by outsourcing american jobs

EDIT: 87TTOP - I do agree that you need a unique rim for your very unique and amazing car. Have you checked out any of the Stern rims. I saw some on a fox that just looks amazing. I'll do a search and see if I can find them.

Looks nice, but 18's are overkill for diameter (too gangsta-bling for me), probably no gain for handling, horrible for ride quality (maybe even bad for grip, if you have almost no sidewall whatsoever), and the biggest factor ... they look too much like the Cobra rims you're trying to replace.

I'd say stick with what you got, already.

What do I think? I think anything over 17" on a fox is rice.
