I'm looking at putting on the 10th anniversary cobra wheels on my 05 gt, but it seems impossible to buy the real things. Are the replica's good quality or should i just hold out until I find a real set?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds awesome...So far 2 positives and no negatives so it looks like its a go...I have a black on black gt with all emblems,lights,etc blacked out so im thinking going with the gunmetal wheels. I think if I get the black ones, it will be too black.

If you were to find OE ones, they would stick out too far due to the backspacing, and are only 17". Replica is the way to go. The finish is usually inferior to OE, but they get the job done.
