Default 10th Ann. wheels or regular cobra wheels?

Help me decide.

Its a long story but... im downgrading my 2000 Cobra Rs to either 10th ann. cobra wheels (dark charcoal) or the regular 2003 cobra wheels (silver)

the 10th ann. wheels are a tad more expensive but they are lighter.

what do you guys prefer as far as styling or any benefits you can name for either?

basically, i keep getting nails and screws in my tires and they seem to always be near the sidewall where it cant be fixed and the tire is basically trash, $$$ every time. the tires i have now are about $250 each. so i dont want to keep shelling that amount of cash out each time. if i downgrade back to 17s i can get pretty decent tires for about 120 a piece. much more doable if this keeps happening.

highly annoying though.

any thoughts?

Keep your wheels that you have now for show, and get the deep dish 10th anni cobras from OE Wheels. If i didnt get the new wheels that i just got, those would be what i would have bought.

Yeah thats basically it. From 17 once you go to 18s tire prices skyrocket it seems like. Im leaning towards the 10ths because they are lighter and look different from the Rs i have now. But then again the regular 2003s have more of a cleaner look? I dont know. Its about 60/40 right now in favor of the 10ths.

Cmon someone push me off this fence! Anyone have pictures of either on a black mustang?
