I was on the DONT bandwagon but I did not know your car was white. I think those wheels would look great on your car. White and chrome is a good combo.

If you Stang was any other color I would of said go with anyhing but chrome.

^ We would have killed you if you picked the first set or got the chorme wheels. The 200 Cobra Rs will look great with those fat tires.

Wheels are from www.tomzwheels.com. I ordered some ZR-1 wheels from him for 1200, wheels and tires. His company sells great products and he is highly praised on the LS1 forums. He sells factory originals and replicas alike and the replicas are light and the finish is sometimes better than the factory. Check it out. They cater to American Muscle.

I like those. Maybe the first one powdercoated anthracite with a polished lip.

I'm not a fan of te Bullitt wheels because they are offered as a factory option on all mustangs....You don't see 2000 Cobra Rs on 03-04 Cobras....ever.

the bullitt and torque thrust wheels are some of the most played out wheels in existence

I thought you wanted the car to look different? Cobra R rims on Mustangs are a dime a dozen. That's why I won't do DD Bullits in chrome.

I am talking about SN95's in general. There isn't much difference styling wise btw a 99+ GT and a Cobra besides the bumpers. The main difference is under the hood.
