Time for a change....New pics added June 25 ....

I just sold my chrome Cobra R wheels and have decided on this set as a replacement.Any opinions from the group?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Those are sweet, I keep trying to talk my gf into letting me get a set of those. But for the moment she keeps saying no.

Not my thing but I like them more than what you have now. If you like them, get them. Either way, I wouldn't ever do chrome rims - not my thing. If these come in different colors, any reason for this one? Just curious.

I like the idea of 17x10 rear wheels in 4 lug.I think with the color of my Sport,these will look really nice.I also do like the Cobra R wheels in chrome,but,I want wider rear tires and wheels.Plus,I haven't seen them on anyone else's car around this forum.Something different.

It really is a tough call between the wheels I listed above,and some 14x6 steelies with caps,but,I figured I'd try the bigger wheels first.If it doesn't work out,then hellooooooooo hubcaps !!! LOL.

I like the 10th anniversary wheels. I think they will look great on your 'bird.

I think we need a picture show with the diff wheels on the car to decide. Then we could vote on it.

Not a big fan of those vin,too many spokes in my opinion.
However if you like then that's all that matters.
They do make others in deep dish 4 lug.
I know you just sold the r's but the deep dish r's painted with your cars body color in the middle would look sick.

Whitewalls say "CLASSY" in the biggest way.

Can you show me a link?I haven't sen any other deep dish 4 lug wheels (not including smaller 15 inch wheels).I really want the 17x10 for the rear.
