They don't come in 4-lug versions do they?

About 50% of modding mustangs have cobra R wheels. Aftermarket R's are available in 4 lug or 5 lug, and anywhere from 16" to 18" - maybe even bigger, but you wouldn't want any bigger.

Click to expand...

Is that 50% based on a scientific study ...jk...if you plan on doing a 5lug conversion just go ahead and wait to get the rims with it

Cobra R's are widely used but they still look good

I was thinking of the new Cobra R's though. The 2000's. Like this one.

Does anyone have pictures of these Cobra R rims on their Mustang?

Thanks. They are 17x8 front, 17x9 rear. The ones I have are usually referred to as "cobra r's" and the ones to which you linked as "2000 Cobra R's" or "y2k cobra r's"
