Default Black Cobra R rim issues....

I am in need of some input. I was going to get a set of black cobra rims for my car till i noticed that a couple of the local "imports" have the exact rims. Do I stick to my original plan, or go with black bullits instead?

I like to have something that no one else has or at least not to many people run. Just my opinion.

Cool

I have the black Cobra Rs,never noticed any other cars around here like them.Go with what makes You feel good when you look at them on your car.I like being a little diff., but in the end I really don't care about what other people have as compared to what I have or like.I also thought about the Tq. Thrust wheels but decided I was after a diff. look.Either way you should be happy.Have a good one.

+1 On going with what makes you feel good.

Say you do go with the black bullits... what would you do in couple months if a few people around town got them?
All im saying is, no matter what you get, expect someone else to do the same.

I appreciate the input and agree to go with what you like. I guess that although I have nothing against imports, I dont want to be compared to somebody with a fart can exhaust big enough to stick your head in. Especially when the only thing alike is the rims. If it was another Mustang or other Muscle car I wouldnt think twice about it.
