    Those are nice wheels for sure Josh, but I'm staying away from the rivets this time. I've found that they are just too blingy for a Cobra. This is what I have now, and I think they're a bit much with the rivets....

    Those True Forged wheels = HOTNESS

    But I think the Saleens will always suite these cars well! They look right at home on the Cobras. Not too flashy or too dull.

    I love the way the chrome saleens stand out on my car. But I also think black chrome saleens would look better! Ever throw around the idea of Black chrome fr500's or saleens?

    Yeah they can be a bit much, I like the clean look of the AFS 18" 03/04 Cobra replicas but I don't know if they are still out of stock everywhere or not. I think your wheels would look a lot better if the spokes didn't meet and form a star. I agree with what you said that the pics looks great but for some reason they look different in person. I guess that's good for you if you decide to sell them

    I still think they look good

    Here is a pic of a cobra with the 18" replica 03/04 style cobra wheel, I think it looks sick, but there isn't a huge selection of DR's for a 18 unfortunately:

    I like the Saleen's and FR500's.
    Buying aftermarket wheels can be a MFer if you plan to keep them for a while.
    If you smack one and they're out of production with no more sitting in a warehouse you'll be SOL.
    That happened with m Taurus. I had 8x18's, curbed one. Phoned the tirerack where I purchased them. They said sorry..
    Wait a minute, I had just purchased them a couple of months before.
    Since it was the only wheel available in 8" width, they gave me 3 7.5" and charged me for the damaged one.
    Guess it could be worse.
