I just put my Centerline Warriors on with Nitto DR's out back. I really am digging the look. With my Cobras on it was just that, another cobra with wheels. Now my car has a new "appeal" too it. I have only had em on for about 4 hours and I am getting thumbs up and probably at least 5 compliments from strangers. I am really debating on keeping them on all the time. My car is driven every day with the exception of snow. I was even thinking about getting 2 more for the rear and putting street tires on em. What do you guys think?
Skinnies for a Daily Driver???

Its cool until you have to do some pretty evasive manuevers and they fold over under and you almost wreck...
Been there done that. Never again.

I drove the hell out of my 89 with skinnies on it. Didn't bother me it drove great. My 91 with skinnies drives like crap but it doesn't have power steering either. If you can handle loosing the handling I would go for it its all about being different:beer:
The handling wont be as good, but still can be done, Just take turns and ramps slower until your straightened out. Just if the car gets loose, its not as easy to recover it
My car is a daily driver and I always get thumbs up. The younger kids always say it would look better with some 20's :dw::dw:
Your handeling will be affected, you cant take a turn as fast like you would with the stockers. Post some pics of your car!!

STUPID.
Try braking hard with skinnies. You'll be into abs constantly.
This is a terrible idea.

+1,000,000 lmao!!!
doesnt sound too smart... a friend of mine had one of his skinny wheels fail just turning out of his driveway and the company he bought them from tried to blame it on him driving on them all the time. Not to say that is common, but from what they said, those wheels are not meant to handly road terrain, only the next to flawless patch of drag strip. To each their own, just be careful
i drove today with them on in the rain and while the car did great, I can see that if something were to abruptly happen, I would be shit outta luck. I will probably be using these just for the track

Street strip car? yes. Drag car? yes. Weekend car? yes. daily driver? definately not.
Can't stop for shyt, can't take off ramps like you should be able to, highway speeds over a period of time gets kinda iffy. I wouldn't do it on a daily driver. I did it back in high school. But now? no

I drove with mine on, but not as a daily driver, but didn't have any issues. Stay away from the cheapies.... or you might get this! People have told me this is cause of no quality control... or our cars are just too heavy. Good luck either way 
Exactly. I've driven on the street to go to and from the track, or to a Saturday night hangout and it's an uneasy feeling. Braking sucks, taking a turn sucks, at highway speeds the car feels unstable. It's bad enough for a short trip, but to do it on a daily basis would be dangerous.
Holy tirebubble Batman
Man I've almost bought it a few times because the dinky stock tire on my Accord couldn't bite enough. I would be terrified to run something narrow on my Cobra.
just do it for a little bit and see what you think.
