Need Pics 03 Cobra wheels ON s197s

[adamford150]

I am looking at buying a set of black chrome 03 cobra rims. My car is black so any pics you have chrome or black chrome rims would be great.

WHY? I have never understood why people put previous generation wheels on their cars...

If your getting stockers they are 17" x 9"

Mine are AFS 18" x 9" 03 Cobra style, 26mm offset, 275-40's all around. I was able to fir Brembo GT500 brakes behind these wheels too! The new edge offset has them sticking out past the fenders a bit but it looks tough!

Just because a wheel is from a previous gen doesnt mean they dont arnt kool and wont look good on the car, they are generally cheaper and they set you apart from the crowd of S197's wearing the same shoes.

What about Bullitt wheels? they have been around since the 60's, people still running them..

Thanks Red, As for why well Why not?

I use them for my slicks. I did notice one thing. you can't tighten the lug all the way but more then enough to stay tight. Like I said, I use a pair of 03 cobra wheels for my slicks and no issues.

If you don't drag race your car every weekend there is no need for lighter weight wheels. If you are running around trying to race every car that passes you on the road I hope you wreck your car and get thrown in jail. 20's look so much better than 18's on s197's.

Thats a pretty silly comment, if you dont race everybody who passes you on the road then you dont need 300hp+ do you? but you DO have it?

20's may look better but the ride SUX! and they are heavy, Just because you dont race everyday doesnt mean you wont enjoy the improved performance to be had from less unspruing weight.

You all know me and how I feel about 94-04 offset wheels.
The 18x9 26mm offset wheel fits perfectlly flush on our cars.
love the 03-04 Cobra wheels.

i want 18s cause mines a daily although i have 20s and they do look great but im tired of payin out the butthole for tires, you can run a wider tire with a 18 for cheaper thats why i want them!
