OK, I'm having a tough time deciding...the options are:

17x10.5 '03 chrome cobras (cheapest way out)
18" '03 chrome cobras, 18x10.5 out back
18x9, 18x10" deep dish FR500 in black
18x9, 18x10" deep dish FR500 in chrome
18x9, 18x10" chrome saleen's

some photoshops of the FR500's would help...so if anyone could do that for me, that would help :-D

Here's a pic of my car:

What tires did you order? I think I am going with the Nitto 555's up front and 315 Nitto DR in the back.

I went with the cheapest tires I could find which are Kumo's :)

I got 275's up front and 295's on the rear.

Do the nitto's 315's fit without using spacers? If they do I might change my order..

Hey Girth. Saw you on IM, but wasn't around to reply. Happy B-Day by the way. Has the exhaust and CAI arrived yet?

Get the black fr500's 18x9 18x10. These are hands down the best looking wheels available for our cars. They look absolutely gorgeous on any color. They look the best on black, torch red, and white. But I've seen them on blue, yellow, and silver and they looked ohhh soooo sexy!!

I don't think any of those are nice enough to warrant that cash. So out of those choices I would simply get replica 10.5's for the rear and be done with it until you get better taste in wheels hehe.

I just paid 659$ for the black FR500's 18x10 deep dish and 18x9 in front. To me that is really cheap.

looks like someone else bumped this up with a vote as it was at the top of the forum..

if the cost of rubber isnt too much of a concern, Id go with the AFS 18's...

btw..

why dont you throw a coat of wax on that thing, have never seen a black terminator with such a neglected finish :nonono:

hahahaaa just playin spree... :lol:

here is my car with chrome, but these are sold and my black are getting here today so i will show u another pic tomorrow and these are 17s and 10.5s in the back. I like them, but if i were u i would go with black b/c u already have Chrome u will want something different. at least thats how i was. I will tell u more when i get my black wheels in today and i paid just 570 shipped for the 17 in black. so that really cheap.
