Yay or Nay?
Keep what I've got...


Or buy these...they are Ford GT replicas with a 3" lip. I can get them for around $800.

Terminator is a collector's item (or at least will be). Keep the current shoes.

I say buy the gray centered ones, and keep the originals in pristine condition, tucked away safely in the garage.

weight isn't much of a factor when you step into cars that actually have power

btw, the GT wheels look like ass on that car, not sure if it's because they are chrome or not. But the points that come out in the middle of the wheel look retarded.

btw, you guys realize his original wheels aren't anything special right? (not knocking them, just in response to the comments he should keep them forever in prestine condition)

Keep the current wheels. The GT wheels look like some mid 90's niche wheel.

keep them so if he keeps the car, he has original wheels.

Bet people didn't think original wheels on older cars were worth much until they go to buy them 30yrs later.

I think both wheels look good, but the OEMs look fine to me and really don't justify the cost of the aftermarket wheels.

Keep the cobra R's look really good on your car. FR500's are nice also but the R's look right
