For the last 3 weeks I've been trying to convince myself that I dont NEED 18" 03-04 Chrome Roush wheels on my car... so I've been scrolling through the forums looking at other cars and other rim options. I start leaning towards one set... and then BAM! Matt94GT makes a post and I see his Roush wheels. I absolutely love the way the look. Simple yet flashy. I also like the 03-04 cobras so if somehow convince myself that i dont NEED Roush, Ill probably get those. Does anyone else have the Roush wheels? Id like to see some more pics of these on an sn95... preferably a black sn95. Post some cobras too... god d**n this is a hard decision.

...PS: Forgive me for starting ANOTHER wheel thread. This is eating my brain from the inside... out.

Get them!! Not too many people have them compared to bullitts/cobras..

But if you were worrying about price.. Get the cobra's.. and get them wide in the rear!

i plan on going 9 in the front and 10 or 10.5 in the rear. Roush cost around $2k for authentic and $1.5k for ebays. Cobras are about half that price. The price concerns me... but I have a feeling that I might regret settling.

I wanted Roush too but I just wasn't going to be able to afford them. 03 cobras have a similar style and still look kickass.

roushes are HELLA expensive. if you wanted something different that you dont see too often, there are a couple of
american racing wheels that dont look too bad. also BBS wheels are the shiz-net

Cobras are sweet, but seen a lot...its really up to you man. If the roush's are worth the money to you, get em!

thats because he copied me, but Red went with 18's over 17s.

I like 17s because it makes the whole car lower. removing the ISOs and adjustable LCAs make a difference also

Don't settled

Get the rims ..... get the rims ..... LOL!! Get what you want!!
I love the ROUSH Chromes also, but opted for the argents like Dalamar.

The chrome rims look good, especially on black.
Either design the 96-02 (rounded) or the 03-04 (squared) will look good. Can't find any other good pics of GEN 1 SN95s with the squared version.

SRT could you please explain how 17" wheels make the car lower? Doesn't make sense to me when the tire you're riding on is still the same diameter on both rims.

18 inch wheel are 1 inch wider that 17s, thus the car will sit up 1 inch higher on 18 inch wheels opposed to 17 inch wheels.

Compare me and Reds cars, Look how little ground clearance i have under the car compared to his.

17 inch tires arnt the same diameter as 18 inch tires, that why 17 inch tires wont fit on 18 inch rims :santa_grin:
