Well for graduation i guess i'm going to get a set of wheels, i'm not sure what to go with, here are a few of my options.

Locally i can get a set of 17" Chrome Mach 1 wheels 17x9 in the front 17x10.5 in the back. Brand new never mounted for $700. I can also get locally a set of 17" Machined 03 Cobras 17x9 in the front 17x10.5 in the back with brand new 255's in the front, and 315 BFG Drag Radials in the back for $750. If i got these i would sell the drags and get regular tires to offset the cost. Also a local shop has a set of 18x9 American Racing Rebels that he will sell me for $209 (I think) a wheel. The 03 Cobra's are obviously the better deal, but i'm leaning twords the Mach 1 wheels because they're different, they are flashy, and will look good on my Dark Forest Green car.

i'm not a big fan of the mach one's, so i'd say of those three, get the cobras.

i'd have to say 03 cobra's too, maybe somebody can photoshop the mach 1's on your car or something?

Off topic, but what springs do you have?

I too do not like the mach one wheels. I'd opt for the '03 cobras since that is a very good deal. I think of your three choices the rebels would look the best though.

THe mach 1's need to be a 18" to look right IMO. But the rebels above are 18's too right? I vote for mach's/rebels in 18's because they are more unique than the cobras.
