Looked forward to the deep dish 04 Cobra rims forever but after seeing them I can say I am not a fan. Sucks...

The chrome ones look special...not like adorable special, but like requiring a helmet special, and the satin ones only look good on very few colors IMO.

Stevo151 - did you pull the trigger on your wheels yet? What ones are you going with? Do you have any more pics of that Silver Cobra with the black DD/Machined face wheel?

If I get bored with one of the options I'd try plasti dip on em to see if I like them in black first (I'be heard nothin but great things about plasti dip too)
What is this "plasti dip"? I've never heard of this?

its actually really cool, spray on color that is very strong and you can peel it right off whenever you want if you dont like the color your using. black, white, red, yellow, blue and others...

If you like the machined like I do, just go with them. If you don't like them you can always sell them, take a little hit, and get the chrome. That's what im doing lol.

Really? Even after their mounted on the car? That seems weird. Only thing I don't like about CC is the center caps that come with them lol. Late Model sells these for a bit cheaper and they come with the SVE caps.

Not sure if any one had mentioned this before but my old DD o3 cobra where from AM and I had to use a 1/4" spacer to make them fit with the center cap due to the axe bolt coming thru the center cap. just a little FYI not sure if they have fixed this issue, im guessing not

That issue is still there. If you try to mount the rears with no spacer, the tire will more than likely rub and the center cap will not seat and lock in. Unless you're running a small tire, you won't be able to get away with no spacer. You will need atleast a 1/4" spacer minimum. I suggest a 3/8" spacer since it seems like that will suffice best

So should I order some 1/4" or 3/8" spacers then for the GT?
