The FWD Cobra: Just one more thing then the MG gets all the attention



Re: The FWD Cobra

I think they'd look good if they were black.

What's the name and the specs of the black rims you had on your car? Sorry don't feel like reading lol
 
Re: The FWD Cobra

Not a big fan of them in chrome. Possibly in black or a nice gunmetal like Dave said. Check em out and try em on... they may not fit and it may not matter
 
Re: The FWD Cobra

They'll fit, 5x115 and about the same offset as stock wheels from what I could gather, off an CTS from what he says though they're STS wheels. I'm only looking at them since they're kind of similar to my old ones, had to sell them for some cash at the time.

Oh and they will definitely be black, no other way about it. If I do get them I'd eventually get longer studs to space them out some more.

Pretty shiesty job, but you get the point:

I like them, in black they'll look awesome.
 
Re: The FWD Cobra

I'll admit those look better than I thought originally. But stock offset bro? You need lower
 


Re: The FWD Cobra

Just run a junkload of negative camber.

I fixed it.

I do like them though...but something about being all black...idk
 
Re: The FWD Cobra



I'd buy aftermarket wheels in a heartbeat if I could, I only even looked at these since they're like $100 and in perfect shape with tires. He just wants them gone and I'm poor so this deal sounded like a winner to me.

We'll see if I can do any kind of lip since they're already polished. Keep in mind they'll also have chrome lugs and center cap.
 


Re: The FWD Cobra

oh i see. i just love your car too much to see sub par wheels put on. but these will work out, i think.
 
Re: The FWD Cobra

They look a hell of a lot better than these damn stockers lol, If I had 5 spokes or twisties they would stay on.
 
Re: The FWD Cobra

I went to go buy those STS wheels and the guy's wife got the ad wrong. He bent two of the wheels and was selling the other two, BUT he had some other wheels that he hadn't put up that he offered me for the same price. They're some sort of Enkei wheels that need to be cleaned up some. They're an 18x8 +45 with 245/40s mounted with lots of life left except for one that has some camber wear and belts showing. Hopefully this weekend I'll have them cleaned up and platidipped this weekend if I can get a new tire.

The cool part was when he opened up the storage unit he had an old Morgan 8 what he had wrecked sitting there. It has A LOT of racing history over in Europe and some here in the states that he's going to send back to the factory to get rebuilt. He bought the car all race prepped and turned it into a street car.

DUH:
