Hey I've narrowed it down. To three choices. I've checked out a few sites, tires.com, tirerack.com, and a few other sites. I'm working on a budget. I can't find replacement rims for the ones I have so I'm probably going to have to get a set of new ones.

Here are some in Chrome

I don't like the first ones

The second ones, who doesn't like them?

The chrome dual spoke ones look nice but they look very heavy. I dunno if you care about that. I bet those wheels would make you almost a 1/2 sec slower in the 1/4. I love the lip on them though.

Aside from me not liking Chrome much, not badchoices. only reason I wouldn't use the Cobras is because everyone else has them.

those are 16s... i need 18s since my tires are 18s and i'm not about to spend at least another $500 on new tires. I'm not sure if I am going to go with the cobras they would have to be 18s... and those are hard to find at a good price.

All these rims weigh around 27 pounds... each. That is about how much the factory Chrome Ten spokes weigh in at. If I were to go lightweight... I would get very light 16s or 17 under 20 pounds... but they would look crappy. This car needs at least 18s... i would buy option #3 for sure but I'm scarred that they will look small on the car and I think they are a dual lug pattern wheels so I'm not really a fan of 8 lug nut holes. Besides i am beeing told that chrome isn't really a good thing nowadays... so hmm i'm thinking about just getting the silver cobras... so i agree with you guys i'm split in between those two. Not sure which one to get though. Then there are always chrome 18x9 Cobra Rs... :9 But i need to make a decision pretty fast.
