Thinking of Doing Something Drastic and Maybe Stupid

Switching up my wheels to these

if they were 18's I'd say do it...19's are too big IMO


on a side note...and this has been bugging me for like a year now...so now is as good of a time as any I suppose but...

in your avatar...the way the lighting is on the car it makes it look like the bumper is falling off...there I said it, finally!! whew

[fast Ed]

Those would look OK on an SN95 I think, 19" is pushing the boundary of what "seems" right on those cars. What tire sizes are you considering?


cheers
Ed

[Laffs]

I'm jumping back and forth between 18 and 19. Felt like if I go a dark wheel it needs to be slightly larger.

Would do a 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 combo.

[TurboFox]

TSW really stepped up their game with wheels in the past couple years. Those are good but not sure how I feel about the black on black

[Blackmare]

I think 19s are too big on the sn95s personally. 18s would be perfect. I like the wheels. I'd go with the silver on your car though.

^^^that looks good...that's the silver right? I agree with Scott on the Silver!!

that pic looks staggered, 18's on the front and 19's on the back, front looks proper proportion, rear looks too big

I think the wheel design is a hit though

[Laffs]

I'm super ill still, so my pshop suffers. But I tried to size the wheel to the same proportions as my current, so should be 19s all around.

And as far as colour i started with a set of gunmetal. But had to tweak a lot as it was an instagram filter pic.

[Ghost Rider]

oh, ic

what's on there now, saleens? I can't remember


I think the silver will look like sex on the black though!!

but either way I still say 18's :)

Chrome saleens.

[TurboFox]

I am not a fan of how the spokes stick out over the lip

[Ghost Rider]

sliver FTW

[Laffs]

Ya just noticed that.

[Not4you]

Im not a fan of the design. and 19s are much too big IMO on a new edge car. this is why I would not do it to my car. If YOU like them, do it.

[ZR]

Spokes above the lip, sorry not for me. Agree on 18" max.

[03svt]

Do it Laffs they will look great! Time for a change.

Ps 19's are perfect size for your car, 20's are to big..

Time to whore some 19's

[03svt]

Ps my vote is for black

[TurboFox]

19s prob dont look too big in person. There is a big difference looking at pics.

The 18s on my fox look massive in pictures but in person they dont look out of place.

everyone has their own opinion too, 18's on a fox look great.. wheel design has a lot to do with it.

[Laffs]

Im leaning toward the gunmetal solely because my current wheels are bright. 19s I want but if i stay 18 i can save and keep my tires...

[Ghost Rider]

^^^silver will be much darker looking than the chrome you have now...


and also...18's!! lol :)

19" rubber isn't cheap...either size you go with will look good.

[Ray721]

Neither is 20" :( Every wheel I like is 20" rubber alone is like 2 grand!!!

[Blackmare]

Hear ya Ray. One of the reasons I went back to 18's from 20's.

[03svt]

I actually found 20's cheaper than 19's when I had to replace mine,

ps. ill have some 20" front tires that will be good for the front of your car cheap cheap cheap in the next week ;)

[Ponyryd]

Beautiful wheel, not sure about the spokes though, they look weird sticking past the lip. I would go with the gunmetal is some kind of dark bronze. 19s would be my first choice, and really you don't drive much so a set of tires would last a long time.

Thanks for thinking about me but I'm still running the 19" Track Pack wheels. Looking at Vossen, Niche, and Stance concave offerings but the pricing is a major buzzkill. $3500-$4000 for cast wheels with mid grade rubber is craziness.

Looking more and more like I'll be keeping the stock wheels and getting premium replacement rubber and Lowering it.

track pack wheels are a great looking wheel, will look great with a bit of a drop and be done.

[NickD]

I like the silver as well, the matte and dark/ black wheel is getting so popular its not cool any more, and it doesn't show off the design of the wheel as well.
I will state as others have, I'm running 19" and the tire selection sucks for sizing and price vs both 18 and 20 (yes 20" rubber is cheaper)
19 being a factory size for many cars should start to change that soon hopefully though.

[SteveEH]

I personally like the rims, I have seen them on many S197 cars and they look amazing. I don't keep up with the SN95 cars so I cannot comment on those. I do like 18s over the 20s I use to have. 18s work good with the SN95 cars, but I have seen 20s look good on them too, depends on the rim really.

[Drtoronto]

Problem with wheels is everyone has a opinion on them when in reality do what you like I say, listen to your own thoughts.

That said I like the grey ones

[Hutch]

I think the gunmetal wheels would look great!! 18's seem to fit the car perfect but 19's would still look good

[saleenman]

Buddy. Ask Dan to borrow his wheels off the cobra. Then take pic.

[Biz]

19"
Gloss Gunmetal
Will look awesome on your car!

Which Dan?

[OneQwkStang]

When I read this first post my immediate reply was "Yes your stupid" But after review of the photoshops I think it looks badass.

Oh an 19" will be fine.

[Speedtospare]

People say 18" are too big on my fox. 19's are fine on your car. Do what you want.

Example of 19" rim on a cobra

I want 19's its the cost that makes pause...
