Dare I Do It? Thinking on buying a 20" cobra-r Rim

[Caldwell]

Incoming cheesy chop:
you had to expect one right?

Here's a car similar to mine, with cobra-r rims
the only thing is his rims are polished, not chrome, but you get the idea.

The original picture is with 17 inch rims:

and here are my imagined 20 inch rims:

Do you believe that this is an accurate representation?

These would look killer for show with your interior/exterior combo silver 18' slaeens

white saleen's would be

white saleen's would be

see you and wyt have the same idea i do,
i LOVE the saleen rims... and if they made a 19 or 20 inch rim, i'd be ALL OVER THAT. in a heartbeat.
ideally i want a 19 inch saleen rim, but it won't happen...


the reason why i didnt go with a white saleen rim was because i didn't want my car to look sporty, but rather classy with the rim.
if i had a white rim, i thought it might look too "race"

no way, man, that is a very strong NAY! i don't think they look good at all.

what about 19s?

 

[Blackened302]

i'd say you may be cutting it REAL short with 19's. personally, the biggest i'd go with are 18's, but 19's won't look nearly as bad as the 20's.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

what about 19s?

I think a different rim in 19" or 20" MIGHT look good but the cobras look cheap and are way overplayed even in 17" form.

 

[xr8d302]

If you go outside and measure your 17's from lip of rim to lip of rim in diameter, it's actually 18 inches. Putting 20's on your car will look like 21's. 19's will look like 20's....and so on. Go with 18's if you must, I think 19's would look kind of crazy

holy crap, aaron posted something constructive! better take his advice, caldwell, before he makes a perminant change.

 

[94-302-vert]

DO IT!!!!

I think it looks good... I wouldn't want to drive on it but the point of showing the car is to make people say "WTF"....

Hahhaha, burned. that's hilarious. these guys know you better than you'd think eh aaron?

That's my thing.
It's difficult to explain, but like, i own my drive tires, my saleen reps, and i LOVE them, but if i decide to go show with this car, i'm going to want something to have it stand away from the crowds... the thing is, will 20s do that?
I still want a mustang rim too... just because if you go really huge, and it's some random ass Foose rim, it's harder to stay with style than gotty.

You don't need ridiculous rims to make the car kick ass on the show field.

If you want standout rims, there's always these:

 

[Caldwell]

Lol!

Stand out with style
Let's say.
I'm still workin on it.
Chrome bullets?

see the 20s in the add don't look too big:

Here's another question,
what size rims are on this mustang?:

 

[Caldwell]

I just can't let the idea go! lol!!

here are two cars, same position, one with 18s and the other obviously with 20s...

i think with a body kit it would help:

 

[Kevin R.]

First pic with the 18's looks 100x better IMHO.

I get what you're saying about standing out, but I believe with the Mustang you should "stand out" but still keep it stylish.
Sure a Civic with 100 TV's and a crazy body kit might stand out and win a show, but to 9/10 people it is retarded.

 

[Ozz]

18s are way better. 20s look ridiculous.

But at the end of the day, it's YOUR car. Do what you want.

But then again, you say you're doing it to stand out at a show, which will ultimately be the bane of *other people's* perspective and opinion, so I guess you should listen to the masses - LOL.

One thing, though, what shows are you talking about? Out of all the FFW & NMRA Ford Nationals I've been to, I never saw a ride with 20s even place in its class. The orange Mustang you posted has "fastandfuriouseast" tagged on it. Now if THOSE are the kinds of shows you're going to go to, then 20s will probably be more accepted. Might as well add neons, a few Playstations and X-Boxes while you're at it though, otherwise you'll come off as hokey because you only have 20" rims. To those people, it's like whoever has the most trendy **** from Pep Boys/etc. crammed into his car is the one with the best car.

I think your car would look just sick with some 18 inch Saleen's and I would make happy on your fresh white interior if I saw it at the show.
