I've been trying to come up with ideas of wheels for the Cobra. I don't want to do something common. I was thinking about getting some sort of 18" tuner style wheel, something light weight. Does anyone have any Ideas of what might look good? I got someone to do these chops for me:

i always think something wide with a lip and flush fit looks aggressive. with a cobra though, slammed on almost any wheel is way appealing to me, something about aggressive sound + a drop...
a coworker had BBS RX with concave face on his 95 540, looked HOT.

This guy is a proven idiot. So disregard his input.

You'd be better to stay away from "tuner" wheels as they will lower the respect value of your car. You should just stick to what works with those cars. And what works with the Mustangs work for a reason. And Got Milk? is right with his suggestion. An example of what works. Later, QD.

with mustangs you either spend 5-8 hundred bucks getting common mustang type wheels in all sorts of finishes or 3+ grand on bbs, ccw, or other high end wheels.
If you not gonna get a normal fr500, bullitt, saleen, cobra, etc. wheel get one of these:goodjob:

You can get 18" LM replica's for around $800-900 and 19" for $1,100-1200, depending on width...finding them in a 5x114.3 may be an issue though.

NM, found them for a Lexus. 19x8.5" F and 10" R for $1,300...

Looks like you can get Ford GT wheels 19x11" rear and 19x8" front for about $1,100...

Yeah, I thought about those, but they are too played out....lol

They are Volk CE28's

Thanks, but they are plain and old to me now.

While I agree with you, I want my combo to be unique and different from the norm for mustangs. I don't want to put some ugly wheel on there just to be different so I am trying to find something that is unique but still "works" at the same time.

with mustangs you either spend 5-8 hundred bucks getting common mustang type wheels in all sorts of finishes or 3+ grand on bbs, ccw, or other high end wheels.

I was actually just looking at all 3 of those wheels over on SVTP lol. Black CCW classics are my favorite wheel by far. What you say is pretty true too, as far as going w/wheels that are $800 a set, then step straight up to $800 a piece. The problem with that is that I'm not ballin out of control by any means, thats why I'm looking to go a different route. There is a guy over there that has some "Wedsport" wheels. They are similar to the style I am looking for.


what about te37s. i know they are played out but still look good or some bbs like everyone else said
I am def. a fan of TE37's. I would like to see a chop of those on my car too.

This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. I think either of these would look damn good....now I just need a chop...never thought I would see Rota's on a Cobra lol

ST00P1D wide Enkei RPF1s FTMFW...in that almost chrome finish. I'll see if I can get a pic l8r. But those wheels are the perfect blend between "respect" (whateverTF that means) and "tuner"...GOD, I hate that word...lol

I was at Road America with a group of Mustang guys/shop owners and they all rocked CCW's which looked awesome and i'm not the biggest fan of that wheel. Also, one of them had this other set of wheels that were expensive, yet really hard to find. I'll post some pictures later
