Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

Ok guys and gals......am seriously wanting to put some deep-dish wheels out back with some fat 315's. Will stay with the stock 17" size. Dont have a ton of $ to put into this, so something like CCW's are totally out of the question. Was thinking of something like FR500's or even Bullitts......What do you think"

Also, would appreciate any thoughts on color, finish, etc. Many have said that black would be awesome for this color car......I just dunno......

Thanks!

Chris

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

while I hate the "regular" sized FR500's, the deep dish ones look badass. So there is my vote

I love BBS wheels, but the plasma's are not that great looking. Of course, if you get a real bbs wheel it will cost you nearly $1K per wheel.

I also vote for deep dish FR500's.

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

Thanks guys for the replies and insight. I do really appreciate it alot! As my wife says.....I have no "taste" , so have no idea what would or would not look good...

Looks like FR500's are getting the nod so far....

Ok, which do you think would look best
Black, Anthracite, Silver, or Chrome?

Appreciate all the input!

Chris

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

I think the black 500's would look really good.

Have you looked around on the net at that price range to see what else is available?

Even though I realy like the 500's, it would be interesting to see what else is out there.

Re: Redfire 04 Cobra........which wheels?

I vote for the Black, they would really look good on the Torchfire Red.

Second vote would be the anthracite color.

Have you looked at www.wheelreplicas.com they have a Black Chrome Saleen wheel and their prices are not that bad.

Are your stock wheels chrome or silver?
