I need help deciding lol. Going nuts here. I made some money recently and have decided to buy some new wheels instead of messing with the exhaust or anything else right now. What really got me going is yesterday I went to take off my centa cap to possibly paint my calipers and I pulled some plasti dip off :mad: I know that stuffs not permanent but oh well.
My choices are limited to 17x9 and no chrome. I've been thinking about black bullits w/ a polished lip, Anthracrite 03 Cobras, Silver 95 cobra R's and thats pretty much it. Here's a pic of the car as it sits right now. I might lower it some too but first thing I'm doing are the wheels. I have 245/45/17s all around, basically new tires so they're staying. Eventually I'd like to get some 275-285s for the rear though. I'm open to suggestions, I don't want an all black wheel. I would consider chrome wheels as I'll be keeping the stockers and putting those on for the winter.

I would do these. I loved mine. 17x9 deep dish 03 Cobra's. They have a machined finish, so they can look chrome or just kinda anthracite at times.

Y2k Cobra reps then strip the chrome for the machined look. Those are my next set of wheels!
HUH? how does that work?
the5.ohh What about FR500 Machined with black accents...
or maybe Machine Face/Black Deep Dish 03 Cobra Mustang Wheels

This really helps me lmao. I'd do chrome but they'd get destroyed here so thinkin Anthracrite 03 Cobras. Question is, deep dish all around or regular? [MENTION=16788]Darhawk[/MENTION]- I like the fr500s but I'd need to get the DD rears to be happy lol, same thing with the bullitts now that I really think about it.

First off, I don't really mean machined.. More like satin finish? I use them interchangeably in my head lol

Well the "chrome" Y2K replicas are just aluminum wheels that have been dipped in a chrome finish. So take some sand paper to them and restore them to their original aluminum state for the original satin look!

It's ok to use the term interchangeably in your head..but don't do it out loud..Cause I was about to get real excited. Machined for the win!!!! then you blew it with your "Satin Look" nonsense...bah humbug! LOL!:D hahaha

Haha my fault! I mean if you wanted, the machined look is basically just between polished and satin so just dont go too extreme when sanding!

the part that's anthracite is the window area no? not the face

Ferocious Aren't all of the 03 Cobra that are machined ( not counting all black ones or polished ), it's only the pockets that are painted? These pockets are painted in anthracite.

I'm not too sure.


I would think that these would be the anthracite ones
