I want those painted black with a polished lip and knockoff
These have the sand casting texture on the spokes and could easily be painted any color. They also come either full polished or half polished for more show.

Well the shorter tire size does not look bad at all. I thought they were 18's. How much did it throw off your speedometer?

Thanks Mike

I don't know about the speedo. I've been running the lower tires on the back for a long time and had the speedo recalibrated with my tunes.

Is your car lowered in the back only? I was just reading your signature and was wondering.

Thanks Mike

Yes, Steeda sport springs on the back, left the front alone. Leveled her out almost perfectly.

That is exactly the style I am looking for. About as close to original Cobra wheels as you can get. They would look great on my Sonic Blue, maybe with white LeMans stripes? As close to a Cobra as I'll ever have. I'll be looking forward to hearing how you make out with the manufacturer. Surely someone will make these to fit an "05 without sticking out of the fenders? Those wheels give me goosebumps!

That's why I waited patiently since March for them.

These were made for the '05 and my car was the one measured for fitment.
They are one piece though and I don't have any idea how many are already made up incorrectly.
I'll post what I find out!

Thanks John. My car may well be the first '05 to install these wheels. When I approached the mfg., they told me they would supply them as soon as they were able to measure an '05 GT for fitment. So I drove to San Francisco and had the car measured for them. At least that way there was no excuse for making them up.

Thanks Rich, appreciate the comment
