My tax return money should be here in about a week or two, and I've finally made up my mind on what wheels and tires I'm going to get.
Here's the wheels:
10th Anniversary Cobras (17x9) in Argent Gray aka Gunmetal.
And tires --
Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's in 275/40/17
I also think that at the same time I will be painting my calipers red and changing my mustang rear lettering to black. I'm also going to remove the ford chick white decals and the white magnaflow decals. The only other decals I'm going to install are the v6stangs.com ones when they come in. Finally... if I get myself some nice smoked clear corner headlights i'll be all set with my red/blackness  hehe Feedback is appreciated

What feedback do you want? Not bad tires, good value. Those 10th anni Cobras don't go with your body kit whatsoever.

Geeze... you guys don't think they look good with the kit? Then I think I might just reconsider chrome 95 R's or 98 Cobras.

I wasn't meaning to be rude, but what feedback are you looking for?
10th anni are old skool, and your kit is, well, "modern", that's all i'm saying.

Ok... here's a comparison of before and after. By the way, the after also has my spoiler removed and replaced by the s281 which I will be doing soon as well.

I like them, but that looks nothing at all like a 275X40X17, this is what they look like....the rear ones on the 95 Cobra Rs

Yeah... don't mind the tires, it's just a photochop job, not accurate, yet at least. But those Kumho 712's in 275/40/17 are the ones I'm going to get with the wheels.
