I am in the process of turning a 90 LX into a 93 Cobra R...this is proving extremly difficult due to the obvious (107). what i am looking for is this. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET SOME 1993 COBRA R RIMS...YOUR A GREAT PERSON IF YOU TELL ME....I got money that i will spend.
Dec. 2002 5.0 mustangs & fast fords says "'93 cobra r wheels were basically the '94 gt 17 inch optional wheels, painted black with a bright finished lip."
The 1993 R wheels are the 1994 "tri-bar" wheels finished in black with a polished lip and chrome center caps. If you can't buy the originals, that would be a relatively inexpensive way to do what you're doing. Why you're doing it, I don't have a clue. Faux-bras suck.
your best best would be to get the '94 GT rims and get them powdercoated black. it will last A LOT longer than paint and the finish will look better too. i'm sure that's what ford did originally.
you can get it done at quite a few places now for around $20-30 a rim. it's well worth the cost. if it's done right they won't chip and will be easier to clean too.
