Hey stangnet.
Havent been on in awhile but I am debating whether or not to sell my 17X9 chrome cobra r wheels and get a set of 18 inch chrome saleen wheels. These pictures are of my car with the current cobra wheels and the second is a quick photoshop of saleens on it.

maybe not in the pictures but in daylight they are very different. cobra wheels look very curvy and the saleens dont at all. but thats just my opinion

I like the cobras over the saleens, the saleens have no lip, even tho they are dd. I like the looks of wheels with a lip.

anything other than those goddamn dime a dozen cobras you got. i like the 18 saleens, the fr500s are my second choice for your car. with that paint though you pretty much have to do chrome. plus theres no way your going lower, so you need to step the wheels up to 18s to finish off that fender gap.

Not worth changing to another 5 star wheel.
Get something totally different.

I prefer the Saleens, although it's a tough choice because both look great!

Your car looks great as is, although I'm so tired of Cobra R's... I think the Saleens look perfect IMO...

I agree. Cobra's are starting to become very common. Saleens would prob be less common. But It doesn't seem to make sense to go from a 5 star to another 5 star as said above.

Cobra's have been too common for years. When i got my 91 last year, it had satin Cobra's on it & I couldn't wait to get rid of them....
