Black Cobras w\rivets all the way. Those sterns look too plain\cheap. Don't know why but I just dont like chrome wheels on Fox bodies. Save the chrome for older muscle cars and 20"+up wheels.

I don't care for the chrome on a fox either lol. I think chrome wheels look better if the car body has alot of chrome to and lets face it fox has no chrome lol. As you can see < here mine is white with white ponies but you can't find them anymore.

Someone that agrees w me about chrome rims. I never really liked chrome on fox bodies. 17x10 should be ok with the right bs. I don't remember what bs u would need though. U might also need to remove the quad shock

I like them black ZR wheels with the chrome lip or the 93 cobra wheels that are black with the machined lip. Those would be my choices.
