2003 Cobra wheels, I got them cheap and everybody with our body style seems to have 95 Cobra R wheels so I wanted to be different.
I have Kumho 712's 275x40x17, really good bang for the buck tire. I also have Nitto DR for the strip.

I agree with zenboy99, the '03 Cobras are less seen and they'll fit the 275's without a problem. I don't have them yet, but probably with the next set of tires. Cost is cheap, especially for 17x9's. Looks are much better than many other rims.

2003 Cobra wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 275/40/17 tires (stock for '03 Cobras). It was cheaper than buying a new set of tires for my 18" OZ wheels.

I paid $945 shipped with tires mounted and balanced. Ebay is your friend with AFSwheels. They have the 10.5s also... I just like being able to rotate my tires front to back.
I got a heck of a good deal on an extra pair of wheels from them to have matching drag wheels.

I have 18 inch saleen replica rims with the crappy tires that came with them. For the winter i have 17 inch cobra r's with yokohoma winter tires (i forgot which ones), they make the car handle snow sooo much better but suck for highway driving.

I have the infamous Cobra R's. Polished 17x9 and 17x10.5 for the back. I plan on getting 265/40/17 for the front and 315/35/17 for the back.
406 from ebay, brand new.

well I used to have the good ole Cobra R's, but then like many I got SICK of them, plus they didnt fit the Saleen look I was in with the body kit and stuff..........so then I got the Saleen replicas.........fits the lines better. And although with the 18's you feel a lot more bumps on the road..........they do look a million times better..........

I ditched the Tri-bars and got the 98' Cobras. Not a lot of people hav them nd they look just a bit different from the 95's. They are only 8" rims so i put 1" wheel spacers in the rear and they look great. I love the 98's but didn't like the narrow rim so, i got the spacers. They ffit more flush with the fender lip now.

I bought the 9" front/ 10-1/2" rear Bullitt wheels from www.wheelreplicas.com for $713 shipped... Mainly cause I liked the look, the 3" lip adds to killer "bLiNg" factor...
The tires are Kumho 245/45/17's up front, which are way too small, but I jjust bought them new, before I decided to buy the wheels... The rears are a now discontinued 295/35/17 Kuhmo Ecsta 712, that Tirerack had some old stock of... They were $115 per tire, so my cheapass had to buy them.. Next time its 315 DR's all the way....
