Please don't ruin a original looking Kirkham with 17's.
But, to each it's own.

Kirkham with 17"
The handling of the car improves drastically. The look of the 17" is something I have grown to like, personal preferance I guess. I never built the car to be a "Shelby" duplicate, but having 717 hp screwed that up anyway. The car is what I wanted to make me happy, if that offends anyone, Im sorry.

I don't think you'll offend anyone. Like I said, to each it's own. What matters is what you....like. Maybe somday I'll change my mind but for now, I prefer 15's. I like the wheelwell filled with tire, not a wheel.

Here's another one of Al's car. The 17" wheels look outstanding and I'm one of those "original or nothing" nuts!

It dosn't matter if it's a Kirkham or anything else, 17's look great on any Cobra.

Since the car make doesn't matter, I figured I would post my SPF with the 17" wheels. Nice pics of the other black cars with red stipes.

I bought the car used in 03, and the original owner said the colors are a Lexus black and red. I compared the red to a newer Lexus, and it looks about the same.
