Dude! Those are Suh-wheet! The spokes are so long and lean, your wheels look like 18s! Your ride height is about perfect. What spring/shock setup do you have? Tire sizes? Tire model?

Dare I say, yet, another satisfied "SleepR1 fitment" customer LOL

Who says you can't have nice, lightweight wheels for a realworld price. You just need to know how to pick. Good work bricke!

Cool The view that '03 Cobras get of bricke's FD

The competition's view of bricke's FD LOL



Love this view...only the spokes are visible, and so the NT-Rs are magically mounted without lugnut hardward LOL

Good work, bricke!

Thanks Sleep! It took me a while to pick these but they are incredible rims. Tires are 255/40/17 Yokohama AVS ES 100s. Springs are Tanabe Sustec Super-H with a 1.5" drop.

Any problems with rubbing in front? Those look awfully flush with the fender.

By my calculations, my 255/40/17s really shouldn't effect the speedometer readings, correct?

those will be 25.03 inches in diameter....the stockers are....24.86. So no it shouldn't really effect the spedo readings.
