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.

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.

It's a Canadian Cobra so it's basically the same as a US GT. Real Cobras didn't come out until 93.

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.

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.
