Default New wheels and tires on

So I picked these up from a guy on a local forum who got some new wheels and tires for his Cobra. After a little wheeling and dealing I finally got them. Cobra OEM 17x9's powder coated black. Nittors 315/35/17's on back and Nitto 555rs 275/45/17's on the front. Got them home last night and slapped them on. Man what a difference in looks and ride. I know some may think the sizing is overkill, but no issues so far. The only issue is I won't be able to rotate the tires. Oh well. On to the pics.

Now all I need is my cowl hood.

Thanks! Hey that is a good idea. I have tried scrubbing it, but it just goes back to the way it was. I will give that a try today.

it will make a huge difference and last for quite a long time too. I started doin mine like one a month starting back in 2006 it gives it sort of a new appearance.

Yeah I questioned the whole wheel size thing also and asked him why so big. The dad chimed in and said, "because it looks cool" I had to laugh, because you don't hear dad's say stuff like that. Had nothing to due with function, but the cool factor.

Looking good man! Just tint those tails, and that will really finish it off.
