What do you guys think? 2010 GT500 wheels on a 2003-04 Cobra?

[PSUCOBRA96]

I didn't even think these would fit with the backspacing they have, will you also have to buy spacers? anyways i like them, Ihave never been a big fan of the CCW's for the price I am not impressed with the look

 

[BrianP]

i actually think they look pretty good.

 

[ChiSVT]

They look okay, but there are better wheels out there for the same money..AFS Cobra replicas, FR500s, SVE 18inch Anniversary all look better IMO. Of course none of them even begin to compare to what ya already got on there. :banana:

Here are some on a Mach1

On a GT

 

[LTHL VNM]

that mach looks hawt!

 

[mustangvsix]

I think they look awesome, but I would not switch your current set up for them.

 

[T-Pain808]

Looks alright, ill take the ccws over those anyday.

Looks alright, ill take the ccws over those anyday.

of course. his car looks 1000x better the way it sits right now but im in a similar situation the OP is. i just sold my cobra because we're in the process of buying a house as well. he can always buy another set of wheels *cough* and i can always buy another cobra.

i like how they look on the Mach, in all black. but in the finish in your chop, they dont look so hot. do they come in chrome maybe? they definitely look different from the "norm" and arent FR500s or stockers like 99% of what everyone else has.

 

[cobrakidz]

The black ones look awesome. If you need the $$ sell the CCW's and buy the GT500's, the car would still look good that way.

 

[canibus]

get some stockers till you get back on your feet.

 

[u1cobra]

stay with ccw:coolman:

 

[Red Turtle]

If you are going to make the switch, I would find some 18" Replicas. The 10' wheel don't look bad, but don't hold a candle to the Reps.

 

[goody03]

Whats the sizes?

i like them alot, i think the deep dish wheel are getting out played..

I like the look

 

[wvmystichrome]

Leave your current wheels on your car. Don't go messing with a good thing.

 

[mustang_00]

tits!!! can someone shop the op's pic to electric green!?

 

[Nicky Pass]

I also think that "lips" are played out. I would love a concave wheel on my car though....

If you could get that much for them. I don't mean that you shouldn't try and sell them, but there's a difference between what you want for an item and what the market will bear.

Brand new SP500's in 18x9 and 18x10-11 are currently running 2600 through CCW. Then you have tire choice on top of that. at $2850 I'd hope you have a rea nice tire on there. The problem is it's still a used set of wheels. Most people that are going to spend that much on wheels and tires will probably pay the 500-700 extra to make sure the wheels and tires are brand-spanking-new.

I know I would in this situation.

But hey, what do I know? I'm not in the market for wheels. It's very possible you might get what you want out of them.

Regardless, at 1,200 cash, I wouldn't be trading off those gorgeous CCW's. I'd find something I rarely use and sell it instead.

I know we all talk about less maintenance etc etc. It's fine to talk about, but we're all nut-swinging happy go lucky enthusiasts that care WAYY too much about the appearance and running condition of our cars for that to ever be more than talk. Kind of like how a politician says he'll change Washington only to be corrupted by it's money and power.

Have you given thought to the fact that you're car will likely also be a bit slower with those heavier wheels?

Like I said, I know how moving into a new house goes. You've got all kinds of incidentals that you can't even fathom would come up. I still think this is a losing proposition though. Anyway you've only got a month to sell the stuff and get new wheels. Who's to say they'll even sell within that time? Again it's a game of chance and my opinion is that it's a losing one.

Anyway good luck with what you decide! :beer:

I bought his old Y2K wheels and they were perfect!! If I had the cash I would not think twice about buying his CCWs and saving a few hundred from brand new wheels and rims from CCW. He is an honest seller and I know he takes care of his car. You really have to see his car in person to appreciate the upkeep on it.:rockon:

 

[Nicky Pass]

Thanks JVert. I try to keep evrything I own as mint as possible!

 

[Black Sex]

I also think that "lips" are played out. I would love a concave wheel on my car though....

Those look sick!!! I bet they are $$$$$$$$$
IMO I like the way the GT500 wheels look on your car. I like them in gray or black with the machined face

 

[silverstang23]

I think they look good

 

[FromGTtoSVT]

what's the 1250 going to be put towards? New furniture...a sink??? 1250 towards a house is a drop in the bucket dude

definitly not worth it...........
