Just pulled the trigger and got these 18" XXR wheels in black chromium wrapped with 275/295 BFG KDW 2 tires. I was worried that 295's were going to be alot narrower than my 315 nitto nto5's but they measured about 1/4 narrower which isnt bad.

Rears are 10"

Dont think im going to run the center caps that came with the wheels. Ill be painting the hubs.

thanks for the props guys. Its bitter sweet, I really wanted to get TF's or CCW but in all reality i cant justify spending that much money on a wheel set when im buying a house and have an offroad race truck. Although i am Extremely satisfied with these wheels.

I was thinking about these wheels for my car but I would probably go with the all black. I would love to see pics of the all black on a TR cobra. Looks good though man, I like it.

The spokes look cheap to me, but they are a great alternative to those not wanting to spend the money on CCW's. These might be one of the better looking non-OEM style cheap wheels.

They actually throw off a lot of people who have seen them in person and though they were 3 piece wheels. No hubcentric rings or adapters were needed to install these. You have to get "tuner" style lug nuts, and i opted for the gorilla style spline nuts.

My car sits a little high right now. It only has 1/2 coil cut front and rear. I will cut another 1/2 or so off when i get CC plates. The rear could use some wheel spacers im thinking 3/8 but im not going to get them until i get better wheel studs.

They're more like BBS LMs than CCWs :beer:

I love them btw, much better than my FR500s hahaha :rockon:
