Shop Car Spotlight: Kevin’s 2003 Cobra x BC Forged TD03 x Toyo Tires

This Cobra is a special Cobra for me. It belongs to one of my closest friends, and a huge supporter of Wheel Lab. Kevin, our Ford Performance Manager. Kevin’s car features a Whipple supercharger, cams, a whole bunch of e85 and a very proper tune from our friends at Performance Dyno NH. In its current configuration the car makes 931 WHP.

This is one of my absolute favorite cars to drive. This car is an absolute monster to drive. I feel very thankful for friends like Kevin who let me experience face melting acceleration thanks to his properly set up Cobra. Needless to say we NEEDED a proper wheel set up for this car to match. We like to change it up every year.

Last year it was Classics by CCW. 18×9.5 and 18×11 (feature on this set up coming soon)

Year prior it was RTS 71 by Weld Racing. 18×9 and 17×11 (feature on this set up coming soon)

So we knew we needed something DIFFERENT than what we have run before. BC Forged was very high on our list, and the new TD series was wildly intriguing to us. Finally a more customizable 1 piece wheel with a LIP! A true competitor to the SP series by CCW.

We knew we needed lightweight, forged and proper fitment for our tire partner Toyo. There is NO better option for these Cobra’s than the Toyo TQ out back with the R888R up front. We find we can drive this car hard, in just about any scenario thanks to Toyo. So BC Forged TD03 wrapped in Proxes R888R and TQ it was!

Now, onto the details. Built in 3-5 weeks. No charge on custom finishes and most important… a completion photo at the end!

Customer Spotlight: David’s S550 x Rohana RFX5

The S550 is a platform we know and love. Joe our social media director happens to own one as well! The chassis itself is very capable, and for wheels you can fit some pretty wide rubber. Shown here is David’s Procharged 3.7 Mustang. When he came to us he wanted something strong, light and would not kill his budget.

After some deliberation, Rohana RFX series was chosen, and specifically the RFX5. Shown here in your typical perfect 20×10/11 fitment for the S550. Flowform technology brings strength and lightweight to customers who don’t necessarily want to spend forged money on wheels. Rohana knocks it out of the park with their RFX line up.

Customer Spotlight: Jr’s Cobra X BC Forged LE05

When some people think of the Terminator, they think of a 1984 Sci-Fi thriller by James Cameron and some jacked dude named Arnold Schwarzenegger (had to be in bold). I cannot think of a better, more fitting nickname for the 2003-2004 Ford Mustang Cobra. Ford plays Cameron, and well the Cobra is Arnold. There is no way around it!

When I think of the Terminator I think of our Ford performance manager and my amazing friend Kevin Dion. He has a 934 whp Whipple Supercharged Cobra that has cemented a feeling of face melting acceleration in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear and beyond. These cars just pull like a freight train.

When Jr came to us for a unique wheel idea for his VERY clean Terminator, we immediately jumped at the opportunity to introduce BC Forged to more Cobro’s and see what we could make happen. His car is unique in the fact that this car ditched the IRS (independent rear suspension) in favor of running a straight rear axle! A lot of wheel companies will overlook this and run the 18×11 +19 rear, which will leave you looking like a lifted Duramax out back.

Specs needed for SRA Terminator: 18×9.5 +25 front and 18×11 +34 rear.

Specs needed for IRS Terminator: 18×9.5 +25 front and 18×11 +19 rear.

Onto: The finished product! 3-5 weeks after your order is placed, each one of our BC Forged customers receives a proof of concept in a completion photo. BC Forged is just SO on point with their process. A great example of how all brands should do it.
