Very nice!

I have the same wheels, but mine are not as clean.

Thanks, guys - Back in the day I would have killed for some Cobra R's, but now that everyone has them I wanted to do something a little different. (no offense intended there as they are still some of my favorite wheels).  These are going to be a hell of a lot easier to clean than the 10-holes.

croga001 - I paid a total of $835 for the wheels and tires with free mounting, balancing, nitrogen fill, and shipping from American Muscle.  Then they sent me a $100 "voucher" for buying them, which I used to get some new lug nuts, a shifter , and a new lug wrench kit.:headbang:  I thought it was a really good deal.

I agree with the too many Cobra R's....its true...but the wheel does rock.

Anyways I like the look of the Terminator Cobra wheel...I didnt know they made a 4 lug model... looks good.

Your black ones look good on your car!  It does give your car a "don't mess with me" look and is different than the common Rs... :cheers:

I wish they made them in silver to go on my silver 88.  The choice is chrome (which I don't wan't right now) or black (which isn't the look I'm going for, although they can work on a silver car).

Me too!  If they did, I would have probably gone that route.  Even better would be anthracite... I really like that finish.  Anyways - I'm not much of a chrome lover so black was the natural choice for me.

Heh, even though it would be hard do this to new rims, maybe I'll get black and powdercoat them silver or anthracite...  I thought I've seen silver before, but don't think they were 4 lug.  My hardware (brakes, etc) are in too nice of condition lose them for a 5 lug just for wheels.

Brian, what offset did you get--+20mm?  I'm thinking of getting silver ones for my 88. :)
