Looks nice man.  Everyone always tells me the same thing; "those are overdone" or "don't like Cobra's anymore" but if you want affordable 4 lug rims that look good its really the best choice!  The reason those are so popular is because they look good, plain and simple.  Its about like putting Cragars on a Chevelle or something...you see it all the time but it just looks right!

Yah everyone says Cobra Rs are overdone, but the truth is there are much worse choices for wheels then those.

VERY NICE !!!! Gives the car more personality.How much tire pressure are you running.My tires show 51 lbs. max pressure.I was told by the tire shop to run about 40.They feel great and don't rattle my teeth.Are you doing a lot of burnouts with the new tires?I'm not with mine.After dropping that kind of cash,I can't bring myself to ruin them yet.You know,I think the black T-Bird mirrors would look great on your car.If you find a set,I here's what I do with the black ones.I clean them up,and polish the  out of them with Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish after I sand them with 1500 and 2000 grit.they shine like glass,but they are all natural,no paint to chip.

Nice looking Cougar. I really like that paint color for our cars, and those wheels help with the scheme. I'll agree with Vinnie in that a nice set of black mirrors would really add a little extra something, or maybe do the conversion mirror from the Tempo and paint to match your wheels.
