I seen a few cobra's with them under the event's/ cruise for knott's so you might wanna take a quick peep through there. IMO they look freaken sick. I would deff look into them. Good luck with your purchase.

if you like that beefy tire/sidewall look, get the 17's...if you like the low pro look, go with 18's.

its xxr 521's. theyre pretty cheap but they dont offer 17x10s only 18x10s. i havent ever gone that wide but im sure any brand tire that offers that size should be good.

I prefer 17z cause of the beefy tire and you can go extremely low on it, nothing better then a slammed snake

I always thought 18's looked best, but this car changed my mind and made me want DD cobra's too. . . I wonder how the polished would look on a white car.

LMR sells them. I guess they're called a machined finish.

I did a quick chop on my car. If you have any good pics of yours, I could try to do the same.
