What to do with the PO wheels

I picked up a 1996 cobra convertible last week. The wheels are not stock. Any idea what they are from? I think they are aftermarket.

Check the backside of the spokes and provide pictures of the markings that your find. If those are Ford wheels then there should be a "Ford" emblem casting on it somewhere. The caps appear to be a product of Ford, unless someone illegally copied the Cobra R emblem.

I did some more looking. The caps are from Ford. The wheels are not. I wanted to switch to the OE wheel for that year but it is hard to find.

Don't put stock wheels on it, the 95 Rs look so much better!
