As far as I'm concerned, I love my 15" rims. (Replaced the 17" rims that came on my 427R 535HP Backdraft Cobra.) Guess now you can get 18" rims on new Backdrafts. Bigger rims are too retro looking for me. I remember seeing an original Shelby Cobra in 1965 with 15" rims and Goodyear Billboards. It is a look I will never forget. Seems, I have much better traction with the original 15" tires and rims. Old Carroll Shelby knew what he was doing!
