Does anyone have a 95 5.0 that has cobra r rims that in the very center have GT written on them? Reason im asking is because today i brought my car to ford because I was having weird vibrations in the steering wheel and they told me that 2 of my rims are bent. I just bought the car about a week and a half ago and this sucks. The guy at ford said each wheel will cost 500 bucks to replace. Does anyone know if i can find these anywhere for cheaper than that? It would really help alot...if i can't find them cheaper than i just gotta find another kind to put on there all together. I remember when i bought the car the guy told me that the car was built with upgraded suspension....if that helps any. Alrighty thanks for reading...kyle

$500 for each wheel is abunch of 
I wouldnt pay that much for a single wheel. You can buy a whole new set for less than $500. Try to find 2 on ebay or somewhere that look like yours, then swap the center caps out and no one will know the difference.

if you go to speedandstyle.com you can pick up a set of 4 new 17 inch rims, w/tires for around 700 bones. shipping is free. we use the 5x114.3 lug set up by the way. Tell that guy he's out of his mind.
$500 = $300 part and shipping + $200 dealer profit. 
I went to the dealer to get my codes read for a Check Engine light, and the replacement O2 sensor was estimated at costing $90 for the part. Again, $50 part + $40 profit... gotta love it. Needless to say, I went down to O'Reilly's, picked one up for $59 and changed it myself.
Hah... just checked out buyfordracing.com, silver Cobra R rims sell for $149+shipping there, chrome Cobra Rs for $239+shipping.

If at all possible, dont go to the dealer for anything. They'll rape you for everything you have, and then try to get even more.
