Those are real. Ford sold the wheels for these cars. I don't agree they had to actually be off of an R but they did have to come from Ford and have been advertised as such.



However if they are knock offs made by CJ or AM or some of these other companies they are simply Cobra style.

We all know the 2010 SVT style wheels sold by AM are not exact duplicates of the actual wheels.
Besides quality they look physically different.

What are you looking at? When I open that link, there's just a bunch of pictures. They don't have to actually come off a cobra R, that's just silly, but they do have to be one of the three styles or four if you count those ugly *** three spoke and the chrome ones didn't come out for a long time after, so I have a hard time accepting those because ford never puts chrome wheels on factory cars (that I can recall), but they also don't appear to have the factory cobra r center caps, so I might lean a little towards STYLE. I probably should have cut this into a couple sentences but who cares

I didn't open the link. Too much work. I assumed it was a link to actual Ford Cobra R wheels. Oh well.

00R>95R>93R fwiw

I tried finding a set of FRPP chrome 00R wheels to put on the R and preserve the stock wheels but I was unsuccessful as it seems people ran out of stock just about the time I bought the car.

I have Cobra R's from Ford. The obvious they aren't from a Cobra R but I call them what ford calls them. aftermarkets are copies so at that point I would just call them 5 spoke ie black 5 spoke wheels or chrome 5 spokes but I'll still call mine Cobra R's .

I am the original owner of the black GT, my wife and I bought it in June of '92. The red LX was purchased at a storage unit auction for a small sum of $1350... good thing the guys from "Storage Wars" didn't attend... Yup!

Stangbangerz in Cincinnati. I believe there used to be a member named blacksunshine, but I forgot "real" name.
