which wheels should i choose????????

bimmertech · Jan 3, 2006

I know there have been a million of these and i usually would not ask, but i just can't for the life of me come to a desicion. i have a 95 cobra hardtop/vert, black, will have saleen heat extractor hood, styling bar, tonneau cover, no spoiler/maybe s281 spoiler.

my criteria is it has to be a "real wheel"(no replicas--aftermarket ok), has to be under $300/wheel, no bigger than 18", and they all have to be the same size so i can rotate them. this is what i am considering so far:

1) good 'ole R58's--THE ORIGINAL 95 cobra r wheel silver or chrome--better backspacing, i don't care if everyone has them they still look good

2) 10th anniv cobra rims in the darker color--the worser backspacing but the preffered 17x9"

3) black FR500's from ford--good backspacing and i really like them on suspects car

4) konig maxxims--skeptical of a lightweight wheel here in pothole land but good looking

5) 00 cobra r rims--silver only, may be a bit too large but i have seen them on another black stang on here and they looked sharp

4 all the way!

I like the FR500's. You didnt suggest the Saleens but someone else did and I like those even more. With $300 at your peak budget you can get some much cooler and different looking wheels than those you suggested. If you dont want to spend that much and dont mind going with the Cobra R's like we all have, myself included, then go for it. Its hard to go wrong with them (unless you get polished aluminum with out a clear coat, those really suck ass. I have them and they get dirty after about 5 feet of driving)

Chrome saleens would look awesome, or 00R's

nmcgrawj · Jan 4, 2006

In order from best to worst.....3,4,2,5,1.

Cant the FR500s be had in deep dish? If so, those with black are TEH WIN!

Get the Konigs, I've been wanting to see them on our cars. And since I have given my opinion, give me your black saleens. Haha.

street-ARE Torq. Thrust II's 17x9 in front and 17x11 in rear...

track-ARE Pro stars 15x3.5 in front and 15x8 (wish I had 15x10 though) in rear

Its a nice setup

How much are the Ko****s?

bimmertech · Jan 4, 2006

i am pretty sure that real chrome saleen's would be a tad more than $300.

the konigs are around $170/wheel.

no jeremy you can't have my other wheels, they are going on the gray car.

those 2 piece black R's look nice, but i am tryin to get out of the replica wheel game.

i am really leaning toward the Konig's. they are priced right and will clear 14" rotors if i get them anytime soon.

anyone have any opinions on steeda's ultralite series?

BlueOvalStangGT · Jan 4, 2006

What color is your car? Someone photoshopped the Maxim;s on his car(which is black) and it didnt look to great. Thats a photoshop though, could be a different story in RL.

2) 10th anniv cobras

blksn955.o · Jan 4, 2006

here are some older pics of my TTII's

I has been dropped about 3/4-1in from the bullit springs I added last spring...I REALY need to get some new/more pics of it.

bimmertech · Jan 4, 2006

the torq thrusts do look good, but i really want the same size all around. i have wide wheels/tires right now, i'm just looking for something that will take a little more wear.

thanks for the help guys, keep it comin.
