The only thing about the Cobra Rs is they are a 5 spoke....I could just get chrome stockers....but I figured if I'm spending the money....I should get something different.

those style wheels fr500's in the DEEP dish rears and smaller lip fronts look nice.
I think they are 18x9 and 18x10.
Thats if you really want that style....
Id save some more coin and get a quality wheel like CCW or I-Forged...
or save MORE coin and go with HRE or Giovanna.
Wheels make the car.

I love them, but agree, i've seen a deep dish wheel that looks great
those would look hot painted solid black as well, don't do chrome, do high polished instead if available

CCWs are $3650 for wheels and tires. I don't wanna spend more then $2K at the MOST. The stock wheels are 5 spoke, so I wanna do something different then a 5 spoke. I just want it to look different then another Cobra.

I think it'll look fine still, but who cares, you only drive w/ the top down!

all the wheels just look meh ... The wheel you chose doesnt look BAD. Its a safe design. Your cobra Rs have more WOW effect. It seems like this wheel choice dumbs down the look of your car.
I'd rather see something more agressive. A cobra is mean and should look the part

Well I for one think they look hot. Not too flashy, different from other Mustang wheels, seem to fit the car well.
Then again I like my stock 2000 TL-P wheels, so everyone can take my opinion with a grain of salt.
