Best Looking SN95 Wheels

[RioCobra]

Looking for opinions on what you all think is the best looking wheel for a 1997 Rio Red Cobra

Stock with 1" spacers
1998 cobra
2000 Cobra R
03/04 Cobra
Saleens
Other

Right now, I have stock.
Would love a set of the Y2K's, but impossible to find OEM, however LMR has repops but the CDN dollar ruins that.
Everyone has Saleens.
So I guess I'm leaning towards 03/04 Cobra's if I was going to change things up, just wondering what everyone else thinks.

Never been a big fan of them, but i have to admit they do look good on an sn95

Roush wheels

I wish I knew where to find a set for sale.

[fast Ed]

Definitely these ...

(I'm saying the opposite of what's true for comic effect ...)


Roush wheels do pop up on kijiji and eBay from time to time, but more often they are for the S197 cars. I like the 98 Cobra wheels, but they are only 17x8" and no repros available. The 03 Cobra 10th anniversary wheels can look good too.

I am partial to the 03 Cobra wheels as thats what I have on mine. But would love a set of BBS RK plasmas........but sadly the budget for those is not there

[03svt]

Saleens look great IMO

[Ponyryd]

I'd go with a custom wheel as opposed to Ford or repro, hre, BBS, xxr, etc.....

These are nice IMO.

I have a set in mind but I can't share them. I'm selfish and want to be unique :D

No love for the 98 GT wheels :P loved the concave look

I love those!!! I have a set for my 96GT and will be putting a set on my Fox for this year.

Saleen wheels and 2003 cobra wheels look amazing on any car

I have a set of OEM 2000 Cobra R's they are very wide up front with the offset and 9.5" rim, not sure if you'd have any fitment issues on the earlier sn95's or not...they just barely fit on mine

you may be better off going with the replica as I believe they are only 9" rims

but they do look great!!

same with the Termi wheels or Saleens

have you looked into the 2001 cobra Rim? I had those too...similar to the 03/04 but with a slightly narrower spoke...they look great as well IMO

[Nsty04SVT]

18" Saleen's would look sweet...If you post up a pic of your Cobra someone could do a little photo shop magic.

[FordFTW]

the proper 94-98 speedline saleen rims look best...love the Saleens but hate it when i see 99-04 saleens on 94-98 sn95's

I like those wheels but not on a Cobra, makes it look like a GT.
If you only want Ford or repro rims I second the '95 cobra Rs in Chrome, need to be good repros if that's what you choose and must have the correct center cap also.

[RioCobra]

Lots of great ideas in here guys, thank you.
Here is a pic of the car the day I got it, please don't mind the stance.

i dunno what you guys are all smoking.. Roush wheels done.. probably no one says this because of rarity lol

We were just buying time smokin a lil crack until you chimed in with the "right" answer.

Yes, you mentioned the Roush wheels earlier, and I do like them, but between finding a set and the presumed cost of a rare wheel, these are probably beyond my reach.

[BAB CObra]

lol sucks how rare they are

[bluetoy]

Everyone uses Saleens for a reason.

[FordFTW]

this is the proper saleen wheel for a 94-98 made by speedline , it looks the best imo

4577

[RedSN]

^^^its not far off the 03-04 Cobra

[Ghost Rider]

^^^even closer to the 99-01 Cobra

Those look sharp! Where did you get the center caps from?

[RioCobra]

^^^even closer to the 99-01 Cobra

This option is starting to grow on me.

[Ponyryd]

lol sucks how rare they are

Also sucks that they all seem to have pitting issues.

[Four cam slam]

Forgestar F14s in 18/10 18/9 are a nice middle of the road option...I got mine from American Muscle as a package..

Proper car wont pit.. :)
mine are running 15 years strong not a single pit

[tulowd]

Cant really beat the cheap 17" repros from American Muscle for the money. Finish is good, seems to last and take road course abuse, and structurally they are solid, for bouncing over track curbs or doing some high speed agricultural excursions without issues. Lifetime structural warranty too.

17" AM Terminators

17" Borbet Type A's, polished; one was bent thru the hub from a pothole at 80 mph, and those wheels cost $400 each...in 1989
http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg582/tulowd/TU%20LOWD/IMG_4090_zps5458a004.jpg

Of course, the look and finish of the wheels have to match the car, colour and your tastes. Ride height makes a huge diff, as does tinting and how much the wheel wells are filled out. 25" tire dia seems to be the key; darker wheels look smaller, shiny appear bigger. This is why some 18's look great, some don't.
Best value is in 16 or 17 di in terms of weight and cost.

If you're gonna spend a lot more dough, getting a lighter wheel makes sense, but even at $400+/wheel, the only real lightweight 9-10" wide stuff I have found is Enkei RPF1.

[dbovine]

You know a good set of Staggered Bullets look great on these cars and you can customized the spokes to what ever colour combo you want.
This is a wild sixer from Alberta

[RioCobra]

I never updated this thread with what wheels I decided on!
I ended up picking up a set of OEM 03/04 Cobra wheels, machined finish.
I ran these for 2 years with 1" spacers out back.
In early 2018 I found 2x 10.5" rears, so I was able to eliminate the spacers, and run a bigger tire.

17232

Earlier this year I found only 2 Roush wheels, staggered front and back, so I was halfway to a full set.

17233

Yesterday I won the Kijiji lottery!

17234
17235

A full set, staggered 18x9 and 18x10.
They have been powder coated, and the wheels are in mint shape.
I think I will put them back to Argent with a polished lip, I'm not really a chrome guy.

So I went from zero, to having 6 wheels. Nice to have a spare front and back if ever needed.

Personally, I think you nailed the wheels/stance already! :thumbsup:

[RedSN]

agreed.
cobras look awesome!

Roush track wheels?

[stangstevers]

The black wheels should look great, if I remember you painted your wing black?

[Ponyryd]

I prefer the Cobras but glad you got the set you were searching for. I really hope they aren’t chrome under the paint though, the Roush Chrome job was terrible and even garaged cars would have peeling wheels.

Just like my Foose wheels...pitted like crazy. Need to get them powder coated at some point

Also agree Cobra wheels are perfection on your ride.

I would love to take those cobra rims off your hands lol

[Ghost Rider]

don't know if you got wheels yet but one of the best looking stock wheels is the '01 cobra wheels ('04 premium package wheels)

2K Cobra R's are sweet too...but I'm bias to those :D

[machinedoc]

They look great!

[RioCobra]

Cobra wheels are sold!

[RioCobra]

Finally got the MT Street Comps mounted on Friday.
295 out back and 275's up front.
Put the new set up on the car with some 1/4" spacers on the rear.
The rears are still a little tucked for my liking so I ordered some 3/4" wheel spacers from AM.

[fast Ed]

Those look great on the car, such a clean design.

[Laffs]

That looks gorgeous. Those wheel spacers will make it perfect. Love those Roush wheels.

[Ghost Rider]

very nice!

[Monera3v]

Always loved these models. flow nicely

[Ponyryd]

Roush wheels look great, they give the car a much more custom look than the Cobras, well done.

[RioCobra]

Here’s the car with the 20mm spacers on the rear.
I also raised up the rear 1/2”
