Wow, I was all set on what I was going to suggest...but all those setups look equally sexy. Whatever setup you go with you best be getting 10-10.5" rear wheels.

i hate to bust your bubble... but none of the above listed; my 2 cents.

not everyone can afford $2000+ wheels... Quite frankly, i wouldn't even spend $2k on wheels unless they had significant weight savings over stock/replica wheels.

Fr500s are played out, Saleens belong on a Saleen and Polished rims are junk, require too much work and look horrible after a year especially if you dont upkeep them in the first place. The 03/04 Cobra rim in chrome is perfect for your car being black. You could take the black route if desired. -Shane

Those '03's don't look like 18's in that shot for some reason. I've seen pics where they look bigger/better. I really like polished wheels best... they have a nice warm shine, but as noted they unless clear-coated they need to be polished regularly. (My clear-coated polished '01's have held up really well.)

Other than that I think that if you don't want the work chrome 18"/03's OR 18" hypersilver/black Saleens would look great.

that first picture is of the 17" on my car... bad representation of an 18" 03/04 obviously but I just did it for stylistic purposes haha

Unless you're going big and you said you're not, 03-04 Chrome or Black Chrome reps. And +1 for the 10.5s out back whatever you decide on. Check out the black chrome....
