Default Wheels?

What wheels do you guys think would look better. I'm going to get them in Chrome. I'm leaning towards the Cobra's because there wider and I have some major traction issues.


Thanks

a few weeks ago I ordered 18' saleen rims from performancewheeloutlet.com and I got them 18x9 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear, sooo if you want the saleens and the 10.5 rear then there you go! I'm still waiting for mine to come in! cant wait!

traction issues? hey, i had 285 in the rear of my ASC and i still had traction issues. Face it you are always going to have ISSUES! I had to downsize because of all-wheel rubbings (17 inch wheels) (sob...)
anyway, i am using bulletts(chrome) with 275 in the rear and 255 up front they rarely rub now(with stock MS springs)

p.s. my cobra rims are the 10" wides. i still have them for my snow tires

18's are just too big... 17's are just right and you can never be "too" wide in the rear the wider the better unless its a 6

18's look good but the tires cost way to much. 17's look good too though.
Its a hard decision.

If they made 17" saleens then I'd go with those. Not up on sizes though since I've got 4-bolts.
