Mustang guys ... looking for some help

[JekylandHyde]

I'm not even sure where to start to look.

I am considering using rims that come in:
17X11 (rears) & 17X8 (fronts)
... and, of course, a grassroots pricing would be nice

I have Mustang cobra wheels on the car now (17X9 and 17x8):

... so, obviously Mustang sizes (from those years) will work.
Anyone know what year of Mustang Cobra those wheels came from?

Anyway, the 9" wide in the rear is not working for me. I would like to go to 11".

I've found Kinesis K10 which I *think* are over $700 each wheel (that's just not going to happen).


Summit has these for $300/each:


Would anyone kick my butt for putting a cragar-wannabe rim on an MR2? ... I wonder how heavy they are

So .... any other options out there for 17X11s?


Thanks,

the kinesis are orgasmic,i think if you can, you should get them and keep them. of course, if that's just not possible, then look elsewhere.

i don't think your second option would suit the car, to me, they just look like they'd be more at home on either an old muscle car, or an f-body. i just can't see them looking good on an MR2, but that's just me.

These might not be too bad ...

HRE 540s They'll make it with whatever offsets you want for $1200 a piece.

The ones that are on your car right now are 95 cobra R wheels I believe.

[GForce957]

Yeah, I think they are 95 Cobra R's as well.

Here's a pic

Nah, I think the Tourq Thrusts only look real good on Stangs and T/As, not even 'Maros.
