Just got a boatload of cash, so I'm chromin up the snake. its a 97 bodystyle cobra.

The rims are no doubt going to be American Racing Torque Thrust II. And I dont care how "played out" they are. They look the best.

I need some feedback on the size. right now ive got 17x9.5's all aorund.

I'm thinking 17x9.5 in front and 19x11 in the back.

And yes, I know american racing doesnt make the 19 size, but they do custom forges.

I really want that oldschool muscle look. You guys think a 2 inch difference is too much?
I'm keeping the 11 width though.



Let me know what you all think!

ALSO its already lowered an inch and a half as well.

I had torque thrusts on my old charger. They are a pain to polish. Look at FOOSE nitrous wheels. Very similar and you can get them in chrome. Look really good on 'stangs too.
