Who makes a good set of reliable / quality Cobra Rs these days since Ford Racing stopped producing them? I've heard stories about some replicas being fine or borderline for street use, but failing under track conditions. Are all the replicas made in China these days?

Just so you know, the prices on this stuff is insane now. The rear rims now cost $1,601.00 each.
When I bought them, they were "only" just over $750 each. (2015)
Same with the lug nuts, they were about half the current cost now.
I guess I could look at it as a wise "investment" Lol.

I ran them on my car back in the early days of owning my car then switched to some Pony R's when they first came out. I'm still 4 lug at the moment. Old pic of my car from 20 years ago when I just had it painted pearl white.



Current wheel set up.

I think the next set of wheels I’ll buy are going to be 17 inch Pony’s.
