Wheel price question?

Would a set of 17x9 Cobra wheels, gently used be worth $300? Would they look good on a DFG GT?

those look like knockoff '03's, and if so. I got mine, NOT knock off 17X9 WITH tires for $400

they look about right to me. I think 300 is an okay price, could be cheaper though. Put some rear spacers in your budget and they shoould look great!

Well, if their 17x8 I'm gonna pass because I already like my stock split 5 spoke rims but I want to run wider tires like 275 in the rear. I really want Cobra R's in chrome, are those 17x9?

Well, I guess I'll keep an eye out for a set of Cobra R. Will 275-40-17 tires on the rear and 265-40-17 tires on the front fit just fine on a stock car on 17x9 wheels?

go 275 all around. thats what i have with no rubbing issues and lowered. you can go 285's on the rear, but then you cant rotate.

275s are the best

i say if you want to stay 17" but want to widen your wheel i would go with a 10.5" rear and put 315's on them

275/40-17's will fit a 17x8" wheel

Not everyone here agree's and recommend nothing larger than 245 because something along the lines with the bead won't seat properly on a x8 rim the anything larger.
