To me it gets no better than 16 inch pony rims. My car came with 15 inch turbines and they were so ugly.
Dont go any bigger than a 245 wide in the back.with a cobra you can do whatever you want and not be a poser cause its a bad *** car as it is. ------------------ 88 mustang gt convertible bored to 306 BBk equal length headers, mac cold air fender kit, 3.73 FMS gears, Steeds Tri-ax shifter, Steeda underdrive pullies, Custom off road X-pipe, 2 chamber flow masters, cowl hood, nitto drag radials, ford racing clutch, 160* thermostat 16 degrees of timing electric fan off 94' t-bird jacobs electronics cap and wires.

Hey James how much do you want for your turbines? I would like to get a better set of rims for my car. Anything is better than the stock ploy-glass rims. I want a set of pony rims but I'm severley broke.

I have 17x9 Cobra R rims with 245/45ZR17 Sumitomo HTR Z II's all around. They are $109 each at www.TireRack.com. They grip great in dry weather, look pretty cool, and they really resist hydroplaning. ------------------ 351W 89 Mustang GT Convertible |

There is no real difference between a US GT and a Canadian Cobra other than a cobra sticker on the back and probably a metric dash. They were really called Mustang Cobra GTs.
