I really have not seen many pics of a shelby with anything but the cobra rims, which are pretty expensive, and would like to see what the car looks like with different rims.
I also want to put the fattest rim and tire combo possible on the rear so i have a good amount of traction.
If you could also tell me what size, brand tires you use, and cost that would be great too.
I just ordered my rolling chassis and would like to have some rims and tires to bolt on so that the car is sitting on all fours when it gets here.

The only reason to buy 17 or 18 or anything other than a 15 is because you prefer the look. Not because your car will perform better. 15" Avons will stay with any high performance street tire of any rim size that will fit on a Cobra, all other things being equal. This is my experience with many, many track miles on a half dozen different road courses. If you want the vintage look you can have your cake and eat it too.
PS - Rethinking. If you are going to race competitively, and need to squeeze every last drop of performance from every place possible in your car, then probably 17s would be a better choice...BUT...I maintain that any difference is so minor and at the bleeding edge of the cars performance limits that 99% (surely me) of the track enthusiast readers here would not have the skill level to realize the difference. Avons kick ass.
