I've always liked the way mesh style wheels looked in a staggared set-up on the 03/04 cobra's. (I dont have the mula to spend on TF's or bbs)

I know its my car at the end of the day and i can get whatever the heck i want, but i dont want to look like rice either. My imagination says that these wheels will look great. What do you all think.

Thanks. http://www.wheelmax.com/wheelcolors.asp?CtgId=13179&color=Black

I like them. They definately have the BBS look. Just double check the back spacing, front and rear, because if that's not right it will never look right.

They look okay, but from what I'm reading on that site, those wheels are either 5x100 or 5x120mm bolt pattern. Neither will fit your car.

Okay, found 'em in the right 5x4.5" pattern. As said above, just be certain the offset is correct.

5x4.5" is the lug pattern. Offset is a measure of how far away the hub is from the wheel centerline. As far as offset goes, stock wheels are 17x9" with 29mm backspacing. If you move to a an aftermarket wheel (especially a wider one), you'll need to watch the backspacing so 1) you don't rub your tires, and 2) your car doesn't look like you've bolted crazy spacers to it.

I thought the OEM wheels were 26mm offset, not 29mm. Can someone confirm?

:??:
