Speed Series, but I've never been a fan of the Cap 5 on any car.

not the speed series, they are hideous wheels and should never be put on any fox coupes except mine.

I was leaning more towards the speed series for the rear and the weld alumastar wheels for the fronts. But I saw the Cap 5 wheels last night and kinda thought they looked good on coupes I googled.

The speed series are pure sex. I should get a set and that might motivate me to make the car fast enough to need them.

I plan on running the 17" alums star fronts and the speed series on the rear. I got cobra brakes on my car so the 17" wheel is a nesesity.

Mine is a track car only and I have aerospace drag brakes all the way around. So I dont think the 17" wheels necessary for me at least.

I only posted the 17s cause they seemed like a good deal. I dont think you could go wrong with 15 or 17"
