New Wheels on the Bullitt. 18" 2003 Chrome Cobra's

[kcsburk]

Well, I opted for the more flashy 2003 Chrome Cobra Wheels as opposed to the wheel replica Bullits. They are 18x9 with 265/35/18 up front and 18x10.5 with 295/35/18 in the rear. Aside from the ride height what do you all think.

Here are a few pics, you can hit my site below for additional pics.

The only thing I dislike about the wheels so far is that they are heavy as hell. I weighed the stock wheels with bald tires at 42lbs. The new rear wheels with tires weighed in at 62lbs. I had a 4:10 gear installed the same day I put the wheels on and I am having a hard time feeling the gear. I think it is because of the extra 20 additonal pounds per wheel. A buddy of mine just bought the 17x10.5 bullitt wheels from Verde and without tire they only weighed 22lbs. I think my 18x10.5 Cobra wheels without tire weigh 31 lbs.

that sucks they are heavier.. You do have the chrome ones i bet the non chrome are lighter.. could you fit a 325 on those rims?

I love those wheels, and they look great on your Bullitt. I want a set for my Cobra, but I don't want to add all that weight. They sure look good though.

 

[kcsburk]

Let me tell you that the added weight really sucks. I need some Cobra power just to turn these big ol wheels. I was considering selling them just because of the weight issue, but I've been getting alot of compliments driving around town which is kinda of nice. So its in the air whether or not I will get rid of them or not.

That's a bad ass looking bullit :bowdown:

Hey kcsburk :
I noticed you have o/r h-pipe with flowmasters and bbk headers. What difference did you notice from just having flowmasters? Sound and performance.

Great looking car, any rubbing issues w/the 295'S-what make tire are you using?-Thanks.

Wheels and tires look great. Good choices.

Question: Is it me, or is the "T" missing from the "MUSTANG" inserts on the rear bumper?

 

[Squeeler92]

Its just the way the light/reflection is. If you look at the second picture you can see it...

Very sharp looking car BTW...
