Damn your nuts man!!! He's sittin on super rare 4 lug CCW classics & your telling him to get rid of those for some run of the mill black FR500's... Hell, I would convert back to 4 lug if I could have those wheels....


The coupe is lookin clean as f##k man, & I kinda like that chin spoiler....

Worst advice of 2009 folks.

Those are the hottest 4 lug wheels out there imho. I would personally avoid doing the 5 lug swap unless you can match or top those wheels in 5 lug.

For a street application where the better brakes are not essential, I would not change a thing (other than get rid of that front clip)

You probably come from a place where chrome Cobra R's are still cool This is one of the cleanest coupes in the Bay Area because of those rims! I'd swap my 5-lug to 4-lug if I could get my hands on a set of rims like these too.

J24i...if you do take 89 306's advice...I got some black fr500's for you

I think I am gonna be the only one that does not like the rims. Well I like the style but they seem too fat, almost cartoonish. Especially in the 4th pic. but overall the car is nice and the rim style is cool. Just the size kills it for me.

Car is definately sick, i like the lip too! Keep the CCW's...

Thanks for the kind words Luke. Did you decide on rims yet for the Cobra?

Hey it's all good bro. I could see how you would think they're cheap rims with all the ADR, MMR, Motegi's that follow the same black mesh with polished lips design etc...Although I have seen these in person on a Honda once, they are typically sittin on 03-04 cobras, supras, & vipers...More then just an expensive set of rims. Light weight, forged, stamped ARP rivet bolts, fully custom offsets available, and the step lip quality really shows. I've messed around with my share of cheap and nice rims on the car.

The reason why people get a little bent by your statement is because they would not "belong on a civic or integra", just like they wouldn't typically be seen on a foxbody. Brand new these run more then the average foxbody or used honda/acura sells for, which just isnt practical.

Not 100% but it will be the cheap route as this is a daily driver that I need to be able to drive and park anywhere and not get too obsessive.

Most likely silver/hyper FR500 18" DD...

I got nothing against FR500's! Probably the nicest of all the Ford replica rims. I completely understand you on losing your ability to park the car anywhere. I can't let the car out of my sight without worrying about if some shady fuck has already been following or scoping it out when I park.
