Yes, Cobra R replicas: 17x9, +45mm offset.
TradeUnion.com
There's also a different set of Cobra rims that come in 16x8, 17x9, & 18 x9 with a +36mm offset. (not up on my Cobra knowledge so I'm not sure which ones they are)
Not my taste for the '05, but I thought others might be interested.

thanks for looking out for me dan, maybe my last post wasn't very clear, I'm thinking about going w/ the 45mm off set that is on the website.
-I just called the number on the website, they aren't a retail store and advised that you will have to order from a local dealer....that stinks....would rather cut the middle man out and save some money.

Yeah. I just called them to ask if they were going to offer any of their other wheels in the '05 size and he was kinda rude.
Maybe there's a site for Verde Rims??

Just got off the phone with Tom @ http://customwheel.com (888-266-5177) and he said the Verde "Halibrand" wheels wouldn't available until April. He guessed the price was around $8-900 per set. (4)
Also he quoted me a price of $780 per set for the Cobra R's in 17x9 with a +45mm offset ($900 in chrome)
Said he was going to try to dig up some more wheels for the '05 and would call me tomorrow. Said he would also put something up on the site.
Hope this helps. Now if I can just find a set of wheels for ME.
