As some of you may know, I am working on a 1982 Mercury Cougar sedan of which I am building up to Pro-Touring status. One very important issue of which I am struggling is the issue of wheels. I am going with a set of 17 X 9-inch wheels to 1) provide a wide contact patch and 2) clear the Baer brakes.
On one hand, I lean heavily toward a set of Speedware/BBK Cobra R-type wheels basically because of their relatively low cost. Also, they look good.
However, I also like the '03 Mustang Cobra and FR-500 wheels. I think that a set of one of these would be so cool, and make the Cougar look bitchin'.
How would you guys go?!

While I was flipping through the Maximum Motorsports catalog Saturday, I discovered that the Konig wheels which they list are about $10.00 cheaper per wheel than the BBK/Speedware units. They do look very good, also.

Just another interesting ingredient to this struggle..................

Now, I am stuck between the Speedware/BBK Cobra R-type and the '03 Mustang Cobra wheels. I am still leaning heavily toward the Speedware units, but the '03 Cobra wheels would look bitchin' on the Cougar!
