I prefer the stock wheels to those ones.. they just look like they belong on a big 70s car. The stance looks perfect though, totally changes the attitude of the car.

The car looks way better with the drop. Those are the same springs that I have on my 94 GT and I'm quite happy with them. I'll vote for the stock Cobra wheels looking better as well, but not because I dislike your new ones but just because I particularly like that style of Cobra wheel. Although I will say that the 8" width of the rim is a downside. Do you get any rubbing with the 315's out back or the 275 up front?

Personally I really dislike the Cobra wheels. I like the Bullit style. There is no rubbing at all with the 315/275 setup.

Nice setup, gotta hand it to you.

What about go-fast gear to work the suspension?

It's always more beneficial to mod the big motors :)

Still, the wheels add a serious touch of "mean" to it.

Handling and SN95 Mustang do not mix. It has plenty of power the way it sits.

DP: Good wheel choice!
