Default New Cobra Rims!

I know these things look a lot better on later foxes, but what does everyone think of them on my 83? They are all 17x9 with 225/45. I plan to upgrade to 245s because the rim sticks out further than the tires do. I just know they look a lot better than the turbines I had on there before!

By the way, for anyone installing these things in the future:

Make sure that you remove the lead that is placed on the inner rim wall for balancing. That piece made a hell of a racket hitting against my shock, lol! And yes, I do plan on getting them rebalanced, but with a different lead location.

the rims look awsome, can't beat a nice black fox with chrome rims, now you need to lower the car then it would look sick

Yeah there is quite of room between the tires and the fender walls.

Anyone know the best fix/mod for this (ie. best brands/price)?
