I dont particularly like rims that show too much of the brake rotors/pads. Call me old school but in my book that stuff is not meant to be seen. Therefore my choice is A.

A - Personally, I don't think these wheels fit the muscle car image the car tries to protray. They look kind of dull and a little wimpy.

B - They're on the vurge of rice. Need I say more?

C - I love those wheels. They fit the muscle car image perfectly.

Option B is the lesser of three evils. I'm sure there are nicer rims out there.

b wheels, even if its lowered is not right,, the car is retro,, black would look amazing with retro wheels,, b just looks like some ricer wheels on this car,, it takes away from it,, definately not adds to it,, i would sell the wheels if i had them,,, they look better on japanese cars, or the older mustangs that looked lousy compared to the new stang

another person who thinks Cobra R looked japanese,,,,


I like the attention I get for my rims, so thats why I wont sell them,,,, specially since I love the way it looks,,,
Also, FYI you dont have the option as of now to have RETRO-RIMS buddy,,, so anything you choose will look modern no matter what !
