Default changed my mind on rims not to sure. help?

At first i always wanted black FR500's 17x9 with chrome lip
then i saw some 10th anniversary cobras and looked at them and was thinking about them in black but they kinda remind me of Scion TC rims.
i like the 5 spoke look though so i was thinking of Cobra R's in black with rivets.

All 17x9 black with chrom lip.
the car is an 02 mineral gray GT convertible. ive found plenty of pictures with the fr500's and i like them but not so much on the cobra r's or 10th anniversary rims. help me decide getting them here in the next couple of days!

you really have to decide for yourself... i myself went with black bullitts simply bc i wanted the stock look but something more aggressive.. i couldnt afford wheels and tires for 18" black saleens so i got what i have now...

rivets aren't really the best thing to get.. they serve no purpose besides looking weird to me

go to www.americanmuscle.com and search through the wheels and look at customer pictures...

the cobra R's sound bad *** the way you described em. Go for it! It'll look good with any set, that being the FR500 and the Cobra R's.

i love mine and while everyone might have fr500s, no one in the area has black chrome, for that matter not many seem to have it period lol.

10th anni's look awesome in the deep dish versions. Dont get rivets no matter what though. They are a pain in the *** to clean. I have them on my car and they suck!!! i cant wait til spring when im gonna get some anthracite dd 10th anni's for my car from OE Wheels. They are the best replicas of the originals. But latemodel resto has them in 18's now so check into those too.

There is nothing wrong with rivets. If it takes you 5 more min per wheel.. big deal. I am getting some True forged Chicanes when I get my cobra. Ill sit there all day and clean these bad boys.
