The wheels’ artful combination of gray center, brushed center lip, polished outer lip, and custom spinner with a center Cobra decal epitomizes automotive craftsmanship. These remarkable wheels are embraced by Nitto NT555 Extreme tires, sized 235-45-17 in the front and a formidable 315-35-17 in the rear, ensuring a dynamic connection between the road and the car.
