Best Place to Buy Cobra R Wheels? Fitment?

ChunkFunky · 05-21-2003, 07:22 AM

I wanna get a set of 17" Chrome Cobra Wheels... the cheapest I have found them is actualy on EBAY... but it's basiclay just a wheel place in florida that sells them through ebay..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2415937707

These are with tires, I checked and they are about 100$ a peice tires, so that makes 4 rims for about 800 or 200 a peice.

Though will these fit on my 89 Convertible without rubbing? I would guess that the rims are bigger but the tires are lower profile and should untimately render the same diameter... though I suppose I should check.

But if anyone knows of a cheaper place lemme know.. or if you happen to be selling a set or something..

I bought a set of wheels off ebay!
The place I bought them from is AFS wheels. They sell factory reproduction wheels and they are cheap. The wheels I bought are White Bullit wheels with tires and they look great.
To find them just look up something like cobra wheels afs and they should pop up. Best of luck to you.

Try these guys out. These are where my wheels came from and I am pleased with them. When they were shipped, they were slightly scuffed, but that was on the backside. All the finish that is visible when the wheels are on the car was in great shape.

This is where I bought mine http://www.brothersperformance.com/

Now with an 89, you will see a little more tire rub than a 91-93 car would. I would not worry about it because I still see a little bit of rub. I got 274-40-17 on the rear and 245-40-17 on the front. You could go a little smaller in the front if you are worried about it.
