opinion on wheels..get in here!
Ok so im thinking about changing to OEM 03-04 cobra wheels. what do you guys think? Its either that or get some 17x9 bullitts up front, the stockers aint doing it for me. a local guy said he would sell me his terminator wheels and BFG tires for $500, is that a good deal? i offered him 300 without tires but might just get the tires too. whats your alls take on this?

I actually like the wheels you have on your car but I understand why you wouldn't want the stock wheels forever 
. 03/04 chrome or polished wheels would be a nice step up. Some fr500s in silver (or MAYBE anthracite) would look really good I think also.
I would stay away from lots of spokes if you go chrome. It would be too busy with the red. I would say no solid black wheels for sure with the red you have and I'd have to see black first before I could give an honest opinion.

Personally, I think your car looks amazing with silver colored wheels and it looks good with 17"s because of the drop. I think if you go 18"s you will want a little more which means you should mess with more components (ball joints, tie-rods, end links). I would avoid that if I had it to do over again.
This tard has his wheels posted under both hypercoated and anthracite and with the lighting I can't tell for sure what they are. They are 18s also but at least you get an idea. I think they look good and I would prefer the hypercoated (lighter silver) over the anthracite for a redfire car.
These are anthracite 17s also on redfire
And anthracite 18s on redfire
