Look for an even trade, then with the cash you have you can pick up some heads since you need them

truth. Only thing is no one seems to even have 18" 03 cobra wheels much less w/ the black. I've been looking for a trade w/ cash for awhile - no luck. Plus w/ the heads i don't have the time (college) or the space cuz of my new place to do the work; so it's NPI heads for me untill i buy a bagillion mpg DD and pull the engine on the stang

had the 03's before my current setup...although mine were only 17 inch. But maybe this picture will help if anyone wants to photoshop a profile picture for CobraRed.

I'd keep it the way it is. Personally, I've always felt '95 Cobra R's looked best on '98-98 body styles.

If the money is burning a hole in your pocket, a Cobra R hood would look badass on your car.

03 cobra rims give me a boner. I also LOVE saleen rims. I think either would look outstanding IMO. Get chrome though if you decide to go with the cobra rims.

Thanks, yeah the money is burning a whole in my pocket. I've been working forever and not much expenses lately and i wanna buy something before i start college again this month cuz then ima put mod money spending on lock down. All i do is save damnit! But i personally dislike the cobra R hood style, and am reluctant to really buy anything for my car that is just for looks. That's why brakes are so appealing

The whole idea is to get rid of the chome im sporting, doesn't go the best w/ the rest of my car and with machined face rims they are less likely to get stolen or have my car borken into.

Not really true...if they want your car they'll take it. But if you think chrome won't look good, then get the one's you're looking at. You can always have some one photo shop different rims for you.

believe me if you have chrome rims you increase the chances of the wheels being stolen or your car being broken into, im not saying you car's more likely to be stolen. Im talking theft. it's the same reason you should cover up expensive amps/subwoofers, advertising works
