Go there for light weight wheels for the track. I like the pentars for our cars. They look pretty good and are nice and light weight.

As for tires, if this is just a track car that you drive back and forth to events, go with something like the Nitto NT01, Toyo R888, or another R compound tire. Or if you really want to get aggressive, you can get something like Hoosier R6's or something like that that is like a racing only tire.

yup, the only street time the car will get is to events and the occasional mustang get togethers.
Thanks for the link.

Yea, if its strictly for track, get something like the R6's or something along those lines because i doubt you'll be taking your car to track days when its raining. If you plan on doing that, go with the R888's as a lot of people from what ive heard refer to that tire as track guys' rain tires. I dont know why because they dont look like they'll get rid of the rain very well, but they must do an ok job to be able to run them in the rain.

I wish they had painted pentars.

I'm just gonna stick with the cobra r's. I'll take the hit on performance. They just look too damn good.

You might be able to actually. They make them in the offsets for the 05+, so they might be able to make a set for the SN95's. All they would have to do is make them how they make the 05+ wheels in the other castings for the right offsets and do whatever they do to make them black(paint/powdercoat/whatever) for you. I bet they would do that for a customer seeing that their business might be somewhat slow due to the economy.
