Post up pics of your wheels.... January 06, 2007, 02:21:56 PM Hey Folks,It's time for some new wheels. But I am pulling my hair out trying to decide what wheels I like/look good. Since the car already has a 5-lug conversion, I am thinking about the following:- 96 to 98 GT OEM snowflakes (5 spoke "split")- 98 OEM Cobras or FRPP Cobra R's- OEM BullittsI am also not sure what wheel color/finish I prefer (satin/silver, chrome, powdercoated grey/black, etc). Pic of the car is below, Current plans are to strip her bare and repaint the original Scarlot Red (paint code 2D) or go with a clearcoated medium-dark red.Anyways, post up your pics before I go bald!! :pbb: Thanks!

Post up pics of your wheels.... Reply #6 – January 06, 2007, 10:32:38 PM As far as 5 lug wheels go...in the last few years I've found myself partial to '99 Cobra wheels and '03-04 Cobra wheels, I guess because they're a fairly simple design, cheap, and not everyone runs them (unlike cobra R's). Would like to run one of those two someday if I ever get my car converted to 5-lug. Quote Selected

Post up pics of your wheels.... Reply #12 – January 07, 2007, 07:01:46 PM WOW!!! Thanks for all of the pics. It was exactly what I needed to help me visualize the wheels.So, I am down to two: the satin Cobra R's and the snowflakes. It'll probably come down to price, but I think I like the snowflakes better. This TC looks KILLER:I am thinking about contacting a couple of engraving or custom wheel shops about replacing the pony in the center cap with a TBird emblem. We'll see how it goes and/or how much it costs.Thanks again, guys, for all of the pics! Your cars look AWESOME! :) Quote Selected

Those would look pretty sweet.I'm also partial to gunmetal/anthracite cobra r's also but I dunno why These things are shagy-http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Gunmetal-Mustang-Cobra-R-Wheels-rims-machined-lip_W0QQitemZ290067536490QQihZ019QQcategoryZ43957QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Selected
