I dont know man - did you see this car and pics? 18's on left 19's on right. If you can nail the stance / tire package 100%, then I think it looks good. Straight 19" Five spokes is not a good idea because that looks wagon wheelish. If you had a nice and wheel pattern - ie D540 CCW, it pops well.

If you can still fit some rubber on it, it's close.

What size tires did you go with mysticsvt with the 18s?
I tried earlier to find that actual buy and I think it was American Muscle because I can't remember the wall.....just recall them being 315's and 18". I'll look some more.

*EDIT* Looks like they were 40s

I prefer the look of 18's. I don't think you can go wrong with a good looking 18" wheel on these cars. 18" RK's with 285/40 out back....

Its a thin line, I think the 19" is slightly too much wheel. Then you need to buy 19" tires, and you have a higher chance of bending a wheel. But if someone likes 19, I have no problems with it... not like its a donk... I think that is the word anyway.

I had 18s on my 01 cobra lowered felt wheels were to small. Im Going 19's when I get new wheels. If you get there right wheel they look great

You mean like lack of tires?
Toyo R888R/888
& NT05R's are made in 19"
I'm saying....he is saying....what I assume is an 01 Cobra came with a stock 19" rims and that the Cobra in his picture is a stock rim. What I am saying....is a 19" rim needs more tire than you can throw at it. Looks like one of them Cobra's with rubber band rims on 40" rims..hahaha
