Default Cobra Wheels

So i have a roush mustang sport with the stock bullit wheels and i wanted to upgrade. im adding a supercharger so i cant spend too much money i was thinking 17 by 9 chrome cobra wheels, The ones on the 2003 2004 cobras. they look just like the new chrome roush ones and it would only cost me about 500 since i would use my old tires. what do you think? and do you have any pictures of them on the new stangs.

They'll stick out too much with theSN95/New Edgeoffset and being 9" wide with a 275 tire, although some people like that look. You might have to add "mudflaps" to cover the sidewall sticking pass the body(check local laws regarding that). Not sure if the factory 235/55-17 tire would look right on a 9" wide wheel, but I'm sure it's been done before. Many people are selling their 18" factory Bullitt wheels, which are 18x8.5" and look at home under the S197's body. Some are around the $700-800 range(with tires), you could probably sell your 17" wheels to offset the cost..........
