Arrow 18" Y2K Cobra's On My Artic Silver Turbo 2

I think it looks pretty mean...

car is nice, but i myself dont know what to say about the wheels. Im going to have to -1 on the wheels. Not for style but the size. Perhaps it wouldnt be so bad if the car was lowered a bit more to tuck them in.

yeah they look too modern for an FC. Mesh wheels are your friend with an old school car.

once he drops it with an aggressive stance it will look good.
Loose or paint the Cobra center caps so no one will know.

Good size wheels though I give props.
They are replicas right? how much do they wieght?

Shipping weight per wheel was only 19lbs (for an 18 that is pretty light...)

I am not sure If i am going to roll them or not.. I am finishing the meshies up this week and may just use them... I just figured it wouldn't hurt to mount these up to see..

Oh and i don't see the problem with agreeing to a statement that the car seemed clean... I was just verifying his statement.

I am not sold on the wheels, but they were just sitting in the garage, I got bored... Bam..

Nah, its just that their 18's. I have the 17" GT rims on mine and from all the pics i've seen and what most have said, their pretty sexy. I definately like the look though. Would look dead sexy on a blacked out FC. Want to trade for my GT rims?

They look good. Not a fan on 18s normally, but they look good. Definitely needs lowered tho.

Lower it 4 inches and it will look sweet. gunmetal is good on silver. It's just the ride height. When you lower it the wheel will tuck inside the fenders and line up better.

I like the wheels, BIg wheel are always nice. You just Need to drop it alot, egt coilovers and slam it all theway. and camber the front so the botom lip of the rim sticks way out, and rolll the rear fender.
