Cobra Style Wheels for "Normal" Fox Cars

Saw this on Corral.net and thought people here would be interested. Apparently the dimensions are a bit different from the authentic ones (in a good way.)

The seller has them in silver and black too. Sweet!

I'd been watching the production thread for a while, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to take the plunge (plus I'm dirt poor right now, so it wouldn't be unitl late sumer anyway)

hopefully the silver will be cheaper, those are the only rims id buy for the TC, its either those, or the stock snowflakes
It's Gumby's fault.

Those are sweet wheels man but for 600.00us plus shipping for a set you can get brand new silver 4 lug cobra r wheels for less.

while this is true Dominator, everybody has them. the only reason i would buy Cobra Rs is for their great variety of widths. ^_^

Yeah, seems there's a backlash against Cobra Rs around here lately.

I have nothing really against 'em, personally.. just that I have other choices I'd rather use (if I can) first.

Yeah, I think I'd probably take the wheels in the link in the original post over Cobra Rs.

True,both sets are nice and while i relly like the original cobra's you don't see to many fox t-bird,cougars with them at least i don't out here.
The only one in my area is Hawk's TC and he's changing his to a custom set this year.

Check out the Snyper wheels by ROH.  If i decide to go aftermarket I think those are the way I'll go.
