I have heard that they don't fit as good as the OEM ones, is this true???

i got a set of chrome AFS 03 cobra 18s. they look HOT. granted, i'm not a wheel expert, but i can't tell a difference from OEM (except the size).

they have good customer service and they're not a shady company. i'd buy from them again.

i've never heard of essenza tires though. you might want to research them to find out more before you buy.

They are great, haven't had a single problem with mine after more than a year and a half. make sure to check partshoppers deals too, heard they have better deals than ebay right now on some wheels. Order them if thats the best price you can find, you wont regret it!

great quality/fit..I love mine.
I have oem cobra R at the front and 2 AFS 17x10.5 at the back. Finish is actually nicer on the AFS. color also match perfectly..

mine are great no probs at all

The fit is fine..But the chrome tends to pit bad if you expose them to the elements for 6 months..But if you keep them clean they are fine!

I have a little bubble in the chrome in mine, but for $400 for all 4 rims I'm not going to complain. You can't see it unless you get right up on the rim. Other than that I love them!! The car stays in the garage and I don't drive it in the rain/snow so I don't have to worry about the pitting issue.

afs is good. their customer service is VERY good.

dont know why anyone would say it wouldnt fit as "good" as oem.
someone buy 4lug or something? =P

I don't know if you are going to buy this set or not but the tires offered with this particular set aren't that great for traction. I read that it has a 380 tread wear and thats a pretty hard rubber. When I buy tires, my max tread wear rating taht I will get is 320 because I had a set with 400 and I sold those after a week of installing them because all I did was slide around.

my buddy had them on his Autumn Orange 97GT and they flaked soo bad when he traded the car there was hardly any chrome left on them. He bought them cheap and they lasted about 2 years. he somehow polished them enough that it fooled the guy who took the car in trade until after the papers were signed. The guy was pissed when he noticed it as my bud left the lot in his new ride.

I hear they're pretty damn heavy, anyone care to comment?

Mine arrived at the speed shop today, and I will be picking up my Chrome 10.5" Cobra Rs tomorrow. I just spoke with the owner of the shop and he said they are gorgeous! I ordered the FRPP Cobra R centre caps to go in them as well so I will post pics as we get them on the car. I am picky and they are going on a show car, so I will give honest impressions as I see them. I matched them with my 9" FRPP Rs on the front.
