I've toss around this idea a lot, i'd really like to go 03 black chrome cobra's.. my first choice is probably black chrome 18'' FR500's the problem is, the cost of 2 MT 315x35x18 is like a 150 bucks more a tire... vs the 315x35x17 ... so my choices are..

A. 03 black chrome cobra reps 10.5 rears
B. black chrome FR500 18
C. or just buy 2 17x10.5 rear cobra r rims and and get MT 315x35x17 tires..

what would you do?

I can afford it but you know how it is.. I just wish there was an 18'' 03 cobra rep...

i think it's easier to just get the 17x10.5 rears and slap on my 315 the only problem with that is having brand new chrome rims on the back will make the front not look so good lol..

are there any pictures of the black chrome FR500's on our body style?

If you can afford the patience and can wait for the $$ for the more expensive ones, do that.

Then don't limit yourself to OE type. Start looking at BBS and AR wheels. Spend the jack, your car is an extension and an expression of yourself. Don't be cheap.
