New to me Cobra
I just purchased my first Cobra its a 97 White Cobra Coup. It looked stock besides the saleen wing and hood (not a fan) But I looked at it and I found it had Borla catback, Hurt shifter, C&L 80mm Maf, K7N filter, recaro seats and msd wires. heres some pics.
I just purchased the Cobra rear bumper inserts, and Front Cobra grill emblem.
I want to buy some rims and im either looking at the Fr500's in athracite or Black. I can get them in 17x9 front and 17x10.5 in rear with tires 245/40s and 315/35. For 1000 bucks.
What yall think? Should I go 18? Or different wheels?

Looks good man, very clean. I was always a fan of the Saleen wheels on that year car. I think that if you got a set of those, in 18" sizes, it would look great. May even look really good with white Saleens. Just a thought.

RE: New to me Cobra
wow nice ride man. Oh and about the wheels IMO I would go 17". I accually had 18" Y2K cobra R's on before and I went down to 17's because of the tire cost. If you can afford the tires then definately go 18 because it will without a doubt look better. But, I have 315's in the back that cost me about $175 a piece for the rear tires and if I had 18's in a 305 it would've been $285 a tire.
