Default Wheel Question

I know these wheels aren't the same, but would a set of the 2003 Cobras look good on the back with 1999 Cobras in the frontif I were to get them chrome? I have the stock 17x8 all around and want the 10.5" in the back but they don't make that size in my style. So I was wondering if these would match up even though the center of the rim indents in the 2003 and mine don't. Just trying to save money by buying only 2 rims instead of 4.

Thats what I thought. Just haven't seen both of them up close to see the actual difference. Thanks for the opinion though. Can't ever save money!

yea but 03 cobra wheel arent that expensive. If you stay 17 you can reuse your front tires and you can also save more money by not going chrome. Trust me i wish i never would have went chrome because when you buy cheap knock off wheels the chrome is cheap and flakes off then sends you into a whole other realm of pissed off.

I found these on ebay and they look pretty sweet! Are these considered a knock off? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black...em300200233624
