Default AM got some new rims wanted to know what you guys think
DD black 03 cobras 17X9 and 17x10.5
Now I know they look a little different than the actual 03 cobra rims but I'm a digging them what do you all think (i'm not buying them I just think they are cool)

If you look at the prices for these things on AM they are 129 for the 9 and 139 for the 10.5 to me that's pretty damn good

yup saves a couple of bucks from buying the 17x9/17x10.5 fr500's and bad thing about the fr500's is that the fronts arent deep dish (well it's not a bad thing) and i luv deep dish

I hate those rims.. They look nothing like they should, the spokes are wayyyyy too small and much more round than the real Cobra wheels.

I understand that they don't look exactly like the real 03's but I don't get how you can flat out hate them. They are to simple of a rims to inspire strong feelings of hate

but I guess to each his own

I'm with Evan on this one. I don't like them because they don't look anything like the cobras to me...

Oh and 3.8, you might look into some chrome cobras...I think the black on chrome look would be cool

the angular style of the FR500 wheel compliments the angular style of the new edge stangs the best IMO.

Hmmm... I might have to throw those into consideration for this spring. I liked the black cobras, but not without the lip.

My Thumb is down becuase they don't looks like the OEM cobra rims. It would just be nice if they made a proper 03-04 Cobra rim.
