    I think some FR500 wheels would look better maybe in charcoal grey 17x9 up front
    and 17x10.5 out back. I Just happen to Know where you could get a set for $550.00 shipped.

    On SB, the chrome Saleens look awesome. I just wouldnt go with that staggered 17/18 combo. If anything go 18/18 or 18/19.

    I hope to get Saleens on the Cobra I get
    04 Screaming Yellow Cobra 463rwhp/456tq
    74 Bronco 302/C4

    I have to agree with the above that the 17/18 doesn't quite cut it, it is making your rear rotor look small, or maybe it's just the picture. If it were me, I think I would stick with 17s all around. But if you like them and the price is right I say go for it.

    btw, when can I get catch up with you and get those springs?

    I dont think it looks bad, You can barely tell they are staggered anyways.

    sent you a message since i had forgot to respond to your pm. sorry!!

    as for the rotor, yeah, it looks tiny. probably because my rears are just gt brakes and not the 11.65 the cobras normally come with. i will battle that no matter what because i need the smaller brakes to clear my racing wheels. i am too a fan of 17's since i like the look of a little more tire, which is kinda why i was diggin this setup. since i could retain the 17" look in the front, while run a little bit bigger tire in the rear. after pricing 18" drag radials...oh my. thats painful!!!
