Got some new shoes tonight..

I originally thought they were 17", it's what I was looking for but the price was too good to pass up. My only concern is that with these still being 16" I will be in the same boat as I am now with the stock wheels being so close to that rear arm off the IRS, maybe a small spacer, anyway...on to the pics. They're just dirty, and not a hint of rash anywhere.

I like those. The SVO wheels are made thicker and therefore heavier than just about any wheel out there. Many other 16" wheels will probably have more clearance in that area.
If they had spent more time with FEA back in the day (if they had anything besides a slide-rule) the SVO wheels would probably be substantially lighter.

Those wheels will look great. I cant wait to get my mach 1 wheels on mine.
I have to turn the snout on the front rotors first though.

Got them (well, 2) on and damn they look sexy, I just need to swap tires/rims & will be set.

Only problem is that rear arm off the IRS needs to be ground down (as shown), or I need some (very small) spacers...also I can't put the fronts on yet untill I swap over to my new spindles, the front hubs are too tall/deep.
But over all, I like the looks of 'em.

And I did like them, but I had an apostrophe & realized they never put 16" on a cobra so I was chasing my tail really, trying to make the 16's work... so here is the new hotness.

edited to add new & improved 17''

Cobras on the SVO

Going for round 3..I am telling you, I can NOT get enough pairs of shoes for this car.
Also I'm not too sure I like the offset, but the combo was too good a price to pass up.

Looks like the IRS pushes the rears outward a bit, your Cobras sit a bit further outward than mine on a stock rear. You can always flip the Cobras if you don't want to keep them, so why not.

I almost got a set of those with decent tires last week. Some bozo on CL must thought it was like Ebay when he posted $250 OBO. He asked what I was offering on them. I told him I'd gladly pay the $250 he had posted IF they were worth it. I never heard back and he pulled the ad. I was going to report the ad when I went back and looked for it again. Woulda been cheaper than getting a whole set of tires right of the bat...

^^ Thanks, yeah I like the cobras, would prefer the black inserts but these were in fairly good condition, a little rash & the tires aren't too bad. I think the IRS may push 'em out a bit.. but those are also 275/40's on the back & 245/45's up front. When it coms time for new tires will balance around with all 245/45's.
