I didn't even know the MADE 20 inch cobra rims
but sure enough this dude's selling his in the classifieds:

and for a pretty good price too

http://classifieds.stangnet.com/showproduct.php?product=21092&sort=1&cat=8&page=11

Now my question is, where would you even buy that rim??
I seriously have never seen 20s on our cars before... not a chrome cobra r, i've seen 19s, but those were hart racing rims...

someone help me out here.
This would make a huge jump from daily driver to show car, but I need to be certain.

I wish the made a 20 inch saleen rim 99-04 style.

The 20's look a little extreme in my opinion.

I like the look your car has now personally, looks showy but it's still a Mustang non the less.

I'd save the dubs for the SUV's.

Yuck....It looks like somone just enlarged the whole rim like 140%, the spokes look too fat. But its your car so who cares what I think.

Don't do it. If you want bigger wheels, just get 18s. I can see up to 19s on the 99-04 model and 20-21 on 05 models but 18 is as big as it can get on our cars without them looking out of place.

Y2K Cobra R's in 20" would look better, but I kinda like it.

i say a big, fat NAY on the 20's... as nacho sad, it's too big for our body style. 17-18 inchers look perfect, but NAY to the 20's.

Don't do it. 20's will look brutal. 18's high, 16's low.

Hm, i probably didn't explain myself well enough

now i only expect the 20s to be for a show...

for instances, driving around regulary would be awful, not to mention bumpy as sin...
but if i start showing my car in car shows and such
i really want to fill the wheel well as best as possible, and 17s don't do it. 18s do, but 20s are, as everyone has shown, to be outrageous

nice site trueblue
that is exactly what i needed.

I was also thinking about bullits but being such a big rim, i wanted a thinner spoke to it so it doesn't look overkill (even though we're talking about a 20 inch rim)

see i've never seen either the bullits or cobras on our model
why is that?
they have to fit!
