Wheel Opinions Wanted For My Car

[ReefBlueHatch]

I can't believe I'm starting another "which wheel" thread, but I need some help. I've never been happy with the looks of my Cobra Rs and I think they're holding back my car from looking great. I'm leaning towards staying 4-lug because I still like to put on Ponys once and awhile. I don't have any recent pics, but my car now has new headlights with amber corners and B springs.

Here are my choices:

10th Anniv. in chrome or silver
FR500s in silver (if I do 5-lug swap)
Pony Rs in silver
93 Cobras (maybe kinda sorta)

If I was still on 4 lugs I'd get some 03 Cobras. Since they aren't on your list, I'd pick the 10th anniversary rims in silver.

I know it's last on your list but I really like the 93 cobras. One of my favorites on the LX. If I stay 4 lug I'll probably get the 93 cobras.

I really like the '03 wheels, but I'm thinking I want something different than a 5 spoke wheel.

This car make me consider them:

Yeah, I've seen that ^^^ before. Actually one that made me consider as well. I'm actually trying to figure out my wheels as well. But I'm leaning toward 5 lug bc I really want to upgrade my brakes. Decisions!

Actually if you can get a set of those I say get them. I forgot how good they look.

93 cobras FTW!

pony R's or the 93 cobras

If staying 4 lug I would only do the 93 cobras since the lug nuts are covered up by the cap. I considered these wheels too (I have the same color/year lx as you) but I wanted to upgrade my brakes so I am in the process of a 5 lug swap.

 

[FoxVerts]

These would look great on your car:

or a set of 16 x 8 black mesh Enkeis.

Smart man.

Most of the 4 lug wheels with the lugs exposed look unbalanced and just off.

Pony Rs or the 93 Cobras would be my choice.

I would go with enkies or anniversary wheels if you are staying 4 lug.

 

[DocG]

I like the Cobra R's.....but maybe I'm biased.

Good luck with your choice, I'm sure it'll look great no matter what.

Agreed, it just dosent look right, looks cheap to me

That's how I feel too. However I think 10th Anniv. look pretty good as 4-lug. I can't decide on looking modern with 10th Anniv or resto mod with Pony Rs.

I'm trying to sell my Cobra Rs now and am looking into 94-95 5-lug swap parts, just in case for FR500s. What seems to be the going rate for spinles/hubs/rotors/calipers? I'm thinking maybe $200.

 

[Mintsick]

I've not secured a set of 94/95 spindles/hubs but I've seen them on car-part.com for $50 per side or so. I scored a set of 2000 GT PBR dual piston calipers with rotors for $85 on ebay the other day as well.

 

[ill advised]

I think chrome Pony R's would look sweet on there (simple and clean). Out of the choices you listed I like the FR500's.
