Default Rims! 03 cobras or fr500s?

I just got my income tax return (as we all will)and I'm wondering if some chrome 03 cobras or some black/grey fr500s would look best in your oppions. Its going on a White 96GT.

My girlfriend and all other girls I've asked says chrome all the way. But I don't think the girls realize what really the black would do for a white car. I don't know though I've always liked the five spoke wheels. I'll probably just end up with some 17x9s up front and 17x10.5sout back with 305s to match.
So witch do you think look better? Thanks for the advice.

I have saleens and I love thier apperience, but I can't find them in a DD. For me to spend this money on rims I have to buy 17x10.5 rearand 17x9 fronts. Its a promise I have made myself, so it has to be a rim that comes in both sizes listed. I guess I could go bullits for another option.

I havent seen any Sn95's with Fr500's but they shure do look nice on the New Edges. Im not really a fan of the Cobra wheels. But its your money and get the ones that you think look the best.

i'm looking at chrome 03 rims myself, i think they look pretty nice, and as the other guy said, saleens are very nice also, fr500's don't look as nice IMO.

I'd like to vote, but I've never seen either of these rims on a 96. However, Chrome is chrome. Chrome will look good regardless of what color of model you have. I'm not sure about the blacks on the 96 though. Black rims do make a white car look a lot more aggressive.
