15" vs. 17" wheel package

[FUNFER2]

I know I'm in for it, for what I'm about to say. Sorry ahead of time!
First- if you want a musscle car affect, go with the 15" and fill up the wheel well with tire, not wheels. Second- if you want a "Hot Rod look" or.... if your going to race it (autocross) ect, go with the 17" (a lot better traction). I have yet to see a cobra with the 17"s that I really like. I'm really into Hot Rods & the bigger wheels, 17"-20".....look great but, not on a cobra. With such a small car & heavy body lines, they look way to big for the car. I have seen many of the 60's factory cars like, Camaro's, Firebird's, ect... that have been Hot Rodded, very low stance & large wheels that look awesome until they get too large, like over 20". The Cuda build on the Discovery channel (I believe) was truly a fantastic bad ass, car when finished but the rear wheels were OVER KILL !!! Anyway, "to each it's own" I say. I'm NOT...knocking you guys that have 17". I just prefer the larger tires on a cobra. If I ever wanted to build a Hot Rod cobra, everything, but the body lines, would be changed. Tires & wheels, interior, chassis, radio & maybe even a HEMI, for a engine ! So, it's all in what you want. Either way, is not wrong. I will say, that if I were road racing, I would have 17" but, I drag race mine & will stay with 15" If Good Year ever comes out with the old LARGE....raised white lettered Good Year tires in a radial......I would buy them in a heart beat !
