The only thing is I want those rims but right now i dont have the money. I didnt know if anyone had found them cheaper than 600 a set. I know that there are knockoffs of them made by ultra, eagle and a few other companies. Right now im looking for the best price. But thanks you guys for the help.

Cobra wheels are overdone, anyway.

my method of getting these is ordering them one at a time and then swap the tires over to the new wheels

I got mine off of Ebay, like Shawn said. I payed $350, however shipping was $120, $14 (I believe) for insurance. They were from OE wheel distributers, I know they have alot of wheels on there for sale, soo look for there auctions if $350 is a good price for you...

Yeah I looked on ebay and that is probably my best bet at the present time and i found a really nice pair of O E for 400 powder coated black with a machined lip. I think they would look  good on a maroon cougar. I just have to make sure i can make everything go through alright. Thanks for the help.

The thing is next week i start paying for my 2003 Escape. The Cougar goes to the shop for a new master cylinder, 02 sensor and the gas gauge fixed. Then it is going into the garage for some well deserved hard work. When i go to UTI im driving the escape but the coug is always on my mind. Once i finish school im repainting it. The repairs are a little sloppy up close. I want most of what i can get done accomplished because within the next few years i wanna make it to cat jam. Im gettin a 351 and rebuilding it and the 302. i just want to know what i can do to get what i want for the right price and no one will mess with my car. the last person who did i got in a fight with and he got suspended. long story short hes a jackass and this car isnt gonna be screwed up.
