Ok who has the best prices? Jeff you have these right? I am looking to get a black pair for the rear just because i know ill go to the strip after the car is done.

So from reading i nedd 16x10 with 6" b.s. correct? And the correct lugs.

Anyone balance theirs?

Thanks:hellothere:

Get them from Diamond directly. Just tell them you need the ones for the 03/04 cobra. Make sure you order the lugs also. They use a 60 degree taper lug. The wheels are hub centric so they must be balanced with an adapter that fits into the lug holes. Discount tire did mine with a stick on weight in the middle.

Actually with the Diamond racing wheels started using the stock taper on their wheels so you don't have to use a different lug. :woot1:

Thats new news I haven't heard. I have an old set that requires the special taper.

Yeah I recently bought a set about 3 months ago and when I asked them about so racing lugs they said it wasn't necessary. And also I balanced mine to answer Lucafu1 question.

Thats cool. I did a lug centric balance on mine with a single strip of stick on weights in the middle with some duct tape over it.

So how is the car running?

The car is running well. I went 10.67 @ 131 a few weeks ago before I got kicked out. I really wasn't expecting that kind of run but hey I was happy. Time for a cage now :icon_cool:

LOL yeah you need to come to the darkside with the rest of us. I'm using an 8.8 out of an 01 Gt, Detroit/Eaton 31 spline trutrac, 3:55 gears, Moser axles, UMI UCA/LCA, torque box reinforcments, pretty standard stuff.

You going to do 9" ends.

I know a few fast cars out here without them, but it always seems like I have a target on my head when I get in the tech line.

LOL yeah it sounds like you and I both have the same luck when it comes to tech. I'll just see what they say though before I do anything else.
