Default Rims For my Crown Vic

I need some help choosing which rim to go with. there are a lot of choices so I thought I'd ask what you guys thought.

Most folks are telling me to go with the 03 cobra rims, but after some research I learned they weigh 26 lbs. The Bullitts only weigh 22 lbs. the FR500 I could not find any weights on. But so you guys can get a better Idea on what these rims look like on the car, I have some pics from other Crown Vic owners

Well this is a hard one for me since a crown vic isn't quite the showier type of vehicle...but I think just to go with simple and clean maybe some cobras? I think the FR500s are too edgy and overdone for a vic, and the Bullitts would demand so much attention on a vic body that I think it'd look off. But I don't know...that's a hard one.

Or you could go with the older saleen style wheels with a DD in the rear.

I dont think the FR's look good at all The ones I think look the best by far are the 05+ Bullitt's

Or....... marauder wheels.

these get my vote, they are 97 cobra style rims or WE, chrome. they got em for the marauder also so they will prolly fit your crown vic too idk

Chrome 18" Bullitt's. 18/9" front and 18/10" DD in the back. Big car needs a big meaty wheel.

PS. that white Vic is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. Why doesn't he just get a Mustang? I mean seriously, Mustang chin spoiler on a Vic? & the badges are just funny..

I tried putting the 05-09 factory Bullitt wheels on my 2011 MGM and they had clearance issues with the calipers.
