I'm indecisive of rims that'll look good on my CO. I don't want chrome because they are heavy. I'm looking into a polished set of rims. I looked into some True Forged and CCW's, but none of their designs really caught my attention that'll look good with CO.

I just want polished rims. I like my rims to shine. I was looking into some stock polished 03-04 cobra rims 17X10.5 for the rear. unless anybody has any opinions? Thanks!

I always thought that the black centers and chrome lips looked good with the comp orange. natev8 had them on his vert for a while and I thought they looked tits

stay away from polished wheels unless...

1. You seal them before anything
2. Buy a set that is easy to polish and not a lot of grooves or small open areas.

If you drive your car, polished wheels are a PITA to maintain and keep looking like knew. Chrome wheels are so much easier to maintain and look better, but understand the weight concern.

A compromise would be find a wheel with polished lips and a colored center that you like.

That sounds like a pain in the ass just to keep about 80lbs off the car! For all that trouble I should just wait for TF or CCW to come out with a design that I like or go with wider cobra rims for the rear.

Forgestar CF5. Have them finished raw and then sent to California Chrome.

Wheels will weigh less then 23lbs (9bs less than the OEM chrome stockers).

I like the stock chrome wheels (or AFS like Comp 04's) or black wheels. The setup on this CO Cobra looks really nice IMO.
