FF 1965 Shelby Cobra Replica Just Finished with New Wheels

Just finished up my car before the New Year. Installed the new 19" iForged FS Sprints wheels in brushed aluminum finish with a chrome lip. Trying to give it a more modern look with 3 piece modular wheels, carbon fiber dash, and momo steering wheel. I know its defintely not the norm especially between European car owners, but I just wanted to build something different. I just love the classic lines of the car. I have always wanted one since I was a little kid.



Using Falken 245/35/19 and 315/25/19 tires.

Gorgeous car and wheels. Very clean. But I will say I think it would look better with smaller wheel diameters.... maybe 17s. I think these cars need a little sidewall. But man that is beautiful nonetheless!

Plus one. Great looking car but the wheels are too big for an old (looking) muscle car.

Awesome car...but I prefer the original knock off wheels (like on my superformance)...to me the newer wheels just don't look right on these cars. I'm sure you are loving it...it's the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel! Enjoy.
