    Cobra R or 93 Cobra wheels?

    Im debating on what wheels to put on my turbo coupe.

    taking suggestions 93 cobra wheels or polished (not chrome R wheels)
    I already have the Rs but I like the other look too, it just seems like alot of turbo coupe owners have Rs on.

    I like the 93 cobras if the car sits lower and isn't monstertruck status.

    Both look good!. The 93 Cobra wheels are unique but Cobra Rs look good too!


    When I clean out some of my stuff, I know I have a box of Turbocoupe stuff. Probably interior trim and stuff. I'll let you know when I dig it out!

    The R's look classy, and sporty. They get my vote.

    haha, throw in a free set of spindles with the purchase of 01 cobra wheels??

    neither of these TCs are mine. mine is white....its a pretty decent car but im getting it painted right now. super solid but typical of a 24 year old car the paint is oxidized and the front bumper had a bunch of spider cracks in it. it will look great when it comes back from paint.

    You wouldn't happen to have an extra TC rear sway bar laying around, would you? Would be a nice upgrade on my Sport Coupe.

    93's all the way. They are an overlooked classic. Too many cars have 95 R's on them.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    I think they both look nice on a white car. But the polished Rs are gorgeous on a black car - WOW!

    Do the Turbo Coupes have a 4.5 inch bolt pattern? Or are they 4.25 inch like the Super Coupes?

    I wonder why they went to the different bolt pattern on the SuperCoupes than the Turbo Coupes??...

    Car looks nice - you've been detailing a bit!!!
