Wheel choice help

skunk21 · Jul 29, 2009

I'm looking for your valued opinions on a new wheel for my car. This fall it's going in and getting stripped down inside & out, body work done and repainted, new trim, headlights the works ( keep an eye for the build thread) anyways I'm thinking of a new look wheel wise for the car when it's done and need to figure it into the budget. It's going to stay a "GT" and white.

Here is what is on my car now..'93 Cobra's which I really liked when I got them. I'm just not sure if they flow with the "GT" anymore.

I'm really leaning towards these, Pony R's. I like how they have the look of what was on the car back in '91 giving that stock look but in 17" with wider widths and some added style.

I also like the looks of the '03 cobra wheel on the fox.. I couldn't get a decent pic of a white gt but this gives you the idea of how they look

and my last choice of wheel is the saleen replica wheel..

So help me pick.

I've always liked the Saleen sc wheels, but the pony r's are kinda cool

i was kinda wondering how those sc wheels would look chromed on a white gt, and now know i dont like it.....

i like thos 93 cobras you got now, but the 03's may look decent too.

damn double post

I like the wheels that are on it now but if I had to pick a different wheel I would go pony R's.

'03-'04s if you're going 5 lug with bigger brakes. Pony Rs if you're staying 4. The '03-'04s show too much brake, and the stock rear drums would look really lame.

I think I'm the minority when I say, the 93 Cobras look awful on almost every car. I think either choice you decide on would be a 150% turn around. Out of the 3... Pony Rs or SCs... I like the SCs but Pony Rs just look right on a fox!

I thought I was the only one who doesn't like those 93 cobra wheels. I would say the 03 wheels or the saleen replicas. My first choice would be a 5 lug conversion and some pro-stars!!!

stykthyn · Jul 30, 2009

pony r's all the others require a 5 lug/rear disc swap to look decent

Wheels

I absolutely hate 93 Cobra wheels. I have always thought they look like a crappy off brand Ebay wheel or something. Funny to hear there are a few others who share that opinion.

I am not a fan of chrome wheels on a white car either though, and I am probably the only person in the world who doesn't like Pony Rs. I just think they look like someone threw up chrome.

On a white car I think the black SC wheels would look sick.

I guess out of the ones you posted I would go with the machined face 03 Cobras cause they are not 93 Cobras and are not chrome.

PONY WHEELS hands down.

Pony R's, but I'm always a bit biased towards a clean, "stock" look. The 17x8/10" set-up is my favorite. The deep dish isn't very subtle if you really want the stock look but it looks pretty damn cool.

Check out the Pony R thread over at Corral.net if you haven't already.

man after seeing that grey fox with those 03's i think im gonna pick up a set of those too

woob · Jul 30, 2009

I have a set of machine face replica '03 cobras in 4 lug on my red gt. But I have found that if I were to stay 4 lug, and not go to 18"s, I would favor the Saleen wheels.

allballsmustang has these chrome 03's

93 cobra wheels only look good on a 93 cobra, Go 5 lug and you'll be able swap around as much as you like

skunk21 · Jul 30, 2009

wow I didn't relize that people so many people hated the '93 cobra wheels. It's funny I get compliments on them all the time . I did however ? them myself after getting them, they just don't fit for some reason but they aren't has bad has ome wheels I have seen . I tried to be a little different. I like the saleen sc which I would do in silver but the pony r has my eye for some reason. I spent some time looking over the thread on the pony r on corral and they look good. I kinda like the idea of bringing it back the factory look with the pony r but running the staggered 17x8 with 17x9 or 10's and keeping the outside looking stock GT and when the funds come up to build the motor I want having that nice sleeper look, kinda of a plain jane looking stang with steam under the hood . That's the goal for the car anyway but those sc's are damn sexy also, I hate decisions!!

I say go with the 03 Cobras, but I may be a little biased.

Walknhorse · Jul 30, 2009

17" Pony R's hands down. I have always loved the chrome ponies on fox's.
