Def keep the tri's, IMO I think those Cobras are the one of ugliest Mustang rims ever made. Have the tri's Cobra R-ized or get pony R's if you want a change.

Got pics of said wheels? Was thinking of having the tri's polished, but I'm not sure if I could get a center cap to match.

Thanks.

Pony R's are the 17'' version of the 91-93 pony wheels, which are similar to the cobras but ''better''. http://www.ponyr.com/

Trying to find or make chrome plated caps for the tribars would suck, unless the Pony R guys would sell you a set.

Wait, since its a Capri you can get away with these blank chrome caps for the tribars.

I think tri's look better on fox bodys than they do on the sn-95's they came on.

Figured I'd dig this back up. Tri's or Cobra's?

Still torn I guess. Thanks for the replies guys.

I like the Cobra wheels, but not digging it on your setup. Maybe it would look better IRL than your PS.....but the chrome is a bit too much with the white/grey body. Just doesn't really look right for some reason.

Get some anthracite bullits.....played out on 4.6's....but would look good on a Capri

Well, I swapped them today. Wanted to see how it looked, and needed the tires on the tri's for my DD.

Planning on rocking some Torq Thrust II's soon, so it'll have to do until then. Just need to put my DR's on the back now.

Looks good. Imo the Cobras are the better looking wheel but the Tribars work better with that color combo. Mainly because of the finish.
