So what do you guys think of 03' Cobra's on a 67' Fastback????

You guys like how it looks with that eleanor front end?

They are 17x8's with 245 45 front and 275 40 rear polished aluminum wheels.

Those look like the 01 cobra wheels.
BTW, they do look great. Did you have to do any type of spacer/adapter?

This isn't my car mine is still on jackstands LOL.
This is local guys car. Has a Paxton supercharger efi using a crate gt 40 engine.

Yes they are SVT wheels they say SVT on them. I also belive MAYSN is correct about them being 01' Cobra rims.

No rubbing.

Too modern on an old car. I hate to say I don't like them.

I think it will look better on the stock front end. The front doesnt even look finished. Either that, or get rid of the side rocker panels. Not sure. maybe it would look better on a car that wasnt black

Yeah the car is not done therefore it doesn't look flush?

I love it how people pick apart cars....when there own cars don't look finished either and seriously when is a car actually done?

Anyways Shane will do here is a pic of the engine.

I'm gonna guess that thing is gonna scoot. I like the wheels well enough but tend to like the more classic look or cragars, american racing or the like. That said, it is nice to see something different.

Click to expand...

I agree, way too shallow of a rim IMO, I like my classic car rims to have some depth...a set of period correct rims in say a 17" size would look great IMO. Torque Thrust Ds with a silver or black center would look mean.

Just my opinion. I do like them but I don't! I think the older style steel wheels look better on the older stangs. But it does kinda grow on me.
