REAL cobra r rims

stanger9219 · 12-01-2003, 08:54 PM

does anyone know a site where i can find real 4 lug "95 cobra r rims. Ive seen a lot of sites that sell cobra r's but they dont have the right center cap. thanks guys.

I always thought you could get them from Ford???

BaLListic · 12-01-2003, 10:33 PM

yeah if it was me i would buy the cheapest set i could find then just get the centers from ford directly....

umm I thought the 95 cobra R'S were all 5 lug like the rest of the 94 and up mustangs. any 4 lugers ive seen have been knock offs.

Cobra r's only come in 5-lug. There is a big difference between the real thing and the fake ones.

The above posts are right there are no "real" 4-lug Cobra R rims. All 4-lug Cobra R's are knock-offs. If you want real Cobra R rims on your fox your gonna have to covert you car to 5-lug and buy the rims from Ford.

i know that the 95's were five lugs, but what i meant by "real" was having the right center cap. I didnt know if you could find 4 lugs with the cobra inside of the R, or if i would need to buy knock offs and get the center caps by themselves.

What is the big difference between them? I have some 4 lug knock-offs and they have been great. Do the real ones weigh less or are they stronger?

stanger9219 · 12-03-2003, 02:50 PM

no idea what the difference is, but i see you go to mizzou...ever come into st. louis? i have a few friends that go there.

Hethj7 · 12-03-2003, 02:55 PM

Yea, I've got a lot of friends in STL. Most of them live in the West County/Chesterfield area. I went to SMS for a couple years and met most of them there, although there are a lot of STL people at Mizzou also.

I am originally from just north of KC though.

If you put two of them next to each other you can tell a big difference in quality, shine, design, and everything else. You wont know the difference or what im talking about until you see a real one next to a fake one.

I'll take your word for it. I have heard that before, but have never seen them side by side. Oh well....mine were pretty cheap, look pretty good, and seem to get the job done

stanger9219 · 12-04-2003, 12:56 AM

hethj7...they look pretty freakin good from the pic you got there.

Hethj7 · 12-04-2003, 09:47 AM

Thanks man. I am happy with them. I think in a lot of other areas of the country the Cobra R rims are a little too popular, but around here mine is about the only Fox body I have seen them on.
