16 cobra r's on the 86 gt. 245/50/16 all around and the fronts rub when turned all the way to one or the other side...

other then that fine.. with the 17"s buy some lowering springs or else you will sport the 4x4 look.

silver is a paint. polished...the metal was buffed to a shine( and should then be cleared )

chrome.




i did the whole polished wheels with my SC..spent like 4 hours a wheel.

there a pita to keep clean for the 3 months i had the car.



but look good clean. ( obviously, more surface area then a cobra wheel but you get the idea?

silver cobra r's

I wonder if they sell 18" 4 lug Saleens?

If not the 4 lug 03 Cobras look good. Machined finish is classy!

You should be fine with a 10", but I'm not sure. I know it definitely wouldn't work up front, but thats not really a problem now. I think the 6.5" in front would look awesome with 10" in the back.
