Need help deciding on which wheels to go for on my Torch Red Cobra... I'm stuck between 18" All black(including the lip) FR500s or 18" All black Saleens. I have the wheel offsets all figured just need help on the style of the wheel. If you have any pics or other suggestions please do post them!
Here is how my car looks so you get the idea also I'm going with a RED/BLACKOUT theme.

Black wheels look cheap IMO and everyone and their brother has FR500's or Saleens.

I know you're trying to go with the red and black theme but chrome stockers or a deep dish black chrome 03 Cobra would be my top pick.

id go 18" cobra reps painted hot rod black. i would have myself if i had the coin. fr500's dont look good in anything but anthracite and saleens dont look good black IMO.

Everyone has black saleens because they look nasty. When the funds are there and I'm done making the car go fast, I will most likely pull the trigger on black saleens and also go the red and black theme route. I love 10th anni wheels though and it shows that the car is a 10th anni. Just slam that pig!

I had this pic photoshoped for black wheels...wife wanted to stick with chrome!
Love the look of the red pinstripe on the Black Cobras... too bad the wifey didn't let you go with them. Glad I don't gotta worry about that for a couple years :p You know where I could purchase them?
Black Saleens, 18X9, 18X10.5 get a shorty antenna too while you are at it..lol

Yeah I'm stuck between Black Saleens or Black Cobras :??: both would most likely be with red pinstripes. I'm planning on just taking the antenna off or buy the short antenna even tho i don't even listen to the radio.

i almost bought a TR with black saleens with red stripe, its a good look.Saleens and fr500,s are over played for a reason , affordable and they look sweet.The stock cobra rims are making a come back ive noticed, 18" chrome or black looks great on TR.Take your time deciding and go with what you like.Make sure to get wheel locks being that you are in surrey.
