I have the same '95 Cobra R re-pop's here still sitting in the boxes waiting to go on mine. I bought the silver/polished lip version though. It's the perfect rim for these cars, imo. You get yours from latemodelresto?

NICE! I was going to ask you what you were waiting for,  but then I remembered I want to get a different size and brand tire for my Cat. but I have to wait until these tires wear out. Anyway, those are really cool!

I do have a question tho..do these wheels use special lug nuts? Or will the lug nuts that are on my old wheels work?

You can use any lug nut. I used my stock ones with my cobras until I got locking ones

is there a company that makes custom center caps for these wheels?

I don't have a specfic suggestion, but you may consider exploring some of the providers of cap options available for these wheels on ebay.  Those suppliers might offer custom stuff.

An option I chose for the Bullit style wheels (to replace the Mustang center emblem) were chrome centers.  Maybe not a great choice for you, but at least gets you thinking on what's out there and where to look.

I think they look good. I like them better than what you took off, but chrome rims may fit your cars look a little better.

I think they look good.  If the car sat a bit lower, I think they would enhance the look even more (filling up the wheel wells), but I'm not trying to spend your money!

Yea, I gotta agree, lower the car a little and you will be in business!

Slam it and you are GOLDEN!

In my view those are the best wheels for a BLUE OVAL!!!

Chrome would accent your car alittle better, but the silver accents and wheels look great!! Always have loved your car!

Silver are easier to keep clean, looks good!

I like how a friend of mine put it today; the chrome wheels gave it a "muscle car" look while the Cobra R's give it a "sleek look." I know one thing, the wheels certainly changed the look of the car. Oh, I draw the line at lowering the it, lol. I prefer the stock height.

Been rocking that wheel on my cougar sense July 2008.  I like them.

Looks good. But I do have to agree with dropping it a bit. To each their own though. Your car has always looked good Derik.
