Cobra Replicas On F-Bodys?

Heard they made replica Cobra wheels that have f-body lug pattern, anyone know if theres truth to this and where to get some? Love the way those cobra-r wheels look.

GMHTP's ThunderChicken had replica Cobra R's on it.

If nobody posts any info, I'll look up that issue after I get home.

Re: Cobra Replicas On F-Bodys?

Topline Products in Montclaire CA make "Bullett" wheels for F-bodies. They are available in 4th Gen and C4 bolt patterns and offsets. (They spell their product "Bulletts" for legal reasons.) Take a look in Camaro Performers, Summer 2004.

Here are the Bulletts mentioned in the other post. Look about halfway down for a close-up:

The wheels are ok, but I definitely loved the color on the car.

I like the bullet wheels but I was hoping that the Cobra-R or 2003 Cobra wheels would fit Either way thanks for the links.

Re: Cobra Replicas On F-Bodys?

Are they even made by ford or another company? I would love to get some Fikse FM5 but I don't have $2400 for wheels, thats just stupid.

Re: Cobra Replicas On F-Bodys?

You are correct, it must be the angle or something. Once i enlarged the pic and looked at it, it looked alot better. Thanks for the link, now i just need to come up with $800


EDIT : Those are Y2K Cobra...these are Cobra-R http://www.performancewheeloutlet.co...Series+Cobra+R

Re: Cobra Replicas On F-Bodys?

There is someone, can't remember who, that has Cobra R's on his Camaro. I remember reading his sig and wondering. Sure 'nuff, he had 'em.

They looked good... but kinda 'out of place'.
