I'm sorry, but without the right looking rims fender flares will look fuckin stupid....C'mon I know you can think of a better rim than a modidied Cobra R...

Its kinda like buying a 6" lift off, cowl hood for a stock engine...You gotta buy the wheels to go with the fender flares......

Have you ever thought about 86 Capri fenders and quarters?...They're a little wider than stock...

actually, brembo 4 piston calipers only fit cobra r's, 98 cobras, or a custom rim like the fiske ones. id like to use bbs rims, but that just wont work
actually, id really like to use fiske rims, but they are to expensive. unless i can find a used set designed to clear my breaks, cobra r's will go on my car.
powder coated though

anyone know of some race car classifides?
