While I love DD rears, I think the 10th Anniversary Cobra's are ghey looking. I don't know... the 7 double spokes just don't look right to me. The only car I've seen them look good on is Epik's white notch. Get the FR500's, silver would look f'n awesome next to the blue.

that's just it, I think the rim design looks really good on the fox body. I've seen these in person on a couple of SN95 (both aero and new edge) and they look like crap IMO. I should add that they do look alright on the Termi's, and I think that has to do with the subtle sideskirts,, different hood, and different front/rear bumpers.

Is nice!



Is not so nice!



FR500's on the other hand looks absolutely sick on 94-04 stangs:

:Word: silver or hypercoated FR500's FTW!!!!

(IMO Chrome FR500's and Anthracite FR500's don't look the best either)

I love 'em. I've wanted a set for my car for a long time. Of course I wanted FR500's for a long time too... I agree that the DD front is ugly too, but the normal fronts with DD rear looks good to me.

I used to hate those when they first came out, but as time goes on I like them more and more.

I love them now!

I want a set of Bronze anniversary wheels for my car... I really like them.

I'm also a sucker for FR's. If I got the anniversary wheels they would absolutely have to be non-deep dish up front.

You all know my take on these wheels...







I too was a skeptic on the 10th anniversary wheels when they 1st came out, but then they grew on me. They look great IMO with the right stance though.

That being said, the link you posted of the wheels are the OE wheels version, which are the ones I run. The pic of the Sonic Blue GT are the 50Resto 17" version which don't look as nice IMO, mainly because those have the deep lip in the front & rear. The 18" versions are also made by 50 resto & look tits....

Those look great on your notch Epik. I've seen the 18" staggered set on the 94-04's in person and to me they just don't look right. They look absolutely stunning on a fox though.

I don't like those. If they were 5 spokes then I would be all over them. My personal favorites will always be the Mach 1s I plan to get a set, with deep dish in the rear.
