Tri-Bars v Cobra

[RTStabler51]

Thanks V, I'll be picking up a set of tri-bars next weekend. Couldn't beat the price.

Well I guess that I'm a little bias in this but I like the 96/98 cobra's.. I'm blasting them & painting them silver with dark gray or black in the pockets.. I just put one on the sacle here at work & they weigh in at 21.6 lbs.. I think that they look more like an 80's type wheel that should have been on the SVO from the factory..

Here are a few pic's of my 9W at night with them being test fitted.. The date reads 11/17/07.. That was the last time that I have seen her.. Sitting in storage for the long winter..

Since Dave got the wheel weight for the Cobra wheel, can someone post the weight of the Tri-bar? I know my Cobras with Yoko A520 245/45ZR17's tip the scale at 50 lbs even. My stock wheels with BFG Comp T/A 245/50ZR16's were at 52 lbs even. Just curious.

Also, paint the tri-bar centers black and leave a silver lip.

The tri-bars with center caps and without tires weigh in at 21 lbs.

Both look silly on an SVO (relax, just an opinion). I'd go with whichever weighs less.

I'll back you up on that.

Looks like there is virtually no weight difference between the Cobra and Tri-bar rims. Thanx for the info.

center caps

No offense, but what looks silly to me is any wheel without the center caps. I just dont like the unfinished look.

I love my 96 Cobra wheels, but could see how some dont like due to the very minor sticking out sdue to offset differences.

I like the tri-bars and you can usually find them pretty cheap.

The Tribar's are the equivalent of an ugly prom date. They're a little better than the stock wheels (beats staying home), but you probably won't be ordering a ton of pictures for friends and family (nice to say you went to the prom)..

Here are a few for ya...

What springs are you running?

[8T6 SVO]

They are Motorsport"C" springs
