18x10s and 18x8.5s I have a set of 275-45s sitting here i might use. These 345s with the IRS are rubbing to much with a load in the car so im selling them to a friend and going with a slimmer tire. Damn you IRS!!!

 

[JoshHooten]

DONE.....

xxr 521?

Yep, Thinking about running them to see how i like em and putting the FR500s on the blue 96 the g/f is driving im about tired of looking at my FR500s for the past 4 years and the black bullets i got for free that are on the blue car need to go. Its getting a paint job soon so id like the silver wheel on the blue car. And im just looking to try somthing a little unlike myself to see if they grow on me.

My friends 03 cobra had the same wheels they r nice

 

[330CubeGt]

LOL Josh, Just about as good as i could do. Thats why im asking for help!

Try the secound set of pics, the angle is close to the same...

 

[330CubeGt]

I actually like the rivets and the fact that there replacable/removable makes me want to try them out. We put the rivet style Cobra R wheels on the G/Fs 300zx and they lasted about a year and the chrome flaked off and they looked like crap.So if these do that i can replace them.

They look good on mustangs even tho there more of a 350z style wheel or somthing similar...

Here you go

 

[justinschmidt1]

I was gonna get those wheels for my car at one point

 

[96TANGERINEGT]

Here you go

Dam that looks sweet.

 

[330CubeGt]

Sweet thats what im looking for, I think it looks damn good but ill have to get the windows tinted to have some more black to go with the wheels. As dumb as that sounds i think it would help lol.

What do you guys think of them vs. FR500s?

 

[det_riot]

looks good man!


@ferocious, what tool do you use to get your lines so crisp on the wheels when you cut em out?

 

[330CubeGt]

If i want to be a real cheap ass i might go 18x10s and run these 275-45s i have here and run 17x7s in the front because i also have a like new set of 225 somthing 17s sitting here on the stock cobra wheels i could use. Think they would look ok staggerd like that or should i just go 18x8.5 up front if i do it?

 

[det_riot]

Just go 18s all around. The staggered rim size can look funny, plus a 225 is so small! as is a 275 for a 10" rim

 

[330CubeGt]

Yea, it is to small but as of right now my 345s are rubbing and my 245s on the front are bald and im tight on money and want new wheels. The plan was to sell my 345s for $200 and buy two 18" Rear xxr's to mount the 275s on since there free.

FR500s go on the beater with the 275-17s and 245-17s that are brand new on it right now and the black bullets im taking off ill sell to get cash to buy front xxr wheels. Its alot of work but i can change the look of both of the stangs and in the end ill just have to buy two 18" front tires. And then in about a year id pull the 275s off the rear 18"s bald or not and get somthing that fits the wheel much better but that is smaller then a 345
