Guys,
As you see from my signatur pic, I had 17x9 Chrome Cobra R replicas. I swapped out and opted for a set of 15x7 front and 15x8 rear draglites. I could not believe how beter the ride quality improved with the 15s.
Anyhow, here are the pics from this morning.

Thanks bro,
I think you will be happy with the PS'. Both look sinister on our Fox cars so you cant go wrong either way. Post pics when you get them.

Thanks bro. In my honest opinion the cobras looked great , but rode terrible on the fox. The 17x9s up front rubbed at full tilt, even with 235 40 17s on. The low profile and width made it track all over the road.

Nice color car, but Cobra R's > Weld's. If you want 15's and better ride quality, there isn't much else to go with. Car does look clean, big props.

Those look real good on there. I'm a fan of welds over cobras too. Nice change.

Mustangs Unlimited carries them. What sucks is that I have a cracked driver parking light. (must have been a rock hit it) , but you cant get a replacement single unit. You have to buy the complete 6 piece set!

And...
To all of you guys...
Thanks for the props. Even the guys that prefer the Cobras. Its the different preferences that make us unique and I respect all opinions.

Mike,

It's looking awesome! I'm glad that you got them on and the smoked light units really make the car stand out. NICE!

wheels look good! Would look bad ass with some Sportline springs to eliminate the fender gap!
