I was looking for some Cobra wheels and found these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2484595751&category=6236#lg

Does anyone have more information about them or where they could be purchased?

They look like 18-inch, 2003 Cobra Replicas with a machined aluminum finish. But I can't find them anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The ones in that listing are 18's. Wore out tires too.
But, I like them gauges...anyone care to guess what they are?

Looks like the rear is 17X10.5" and they must be AFS .

I have 4 17" X 9" OEM Ford Cobra for my car and bought 2 17" X 10.5" when AFS came out with them and they are exactly the same finish .

in the auction they said 35th Anniversary but the car is a 2000 , 35th was in 99 .

Looks like a nice GT to buy !

Yeah, I guess the instrument bezel makes it a 35th

Those gauges look cheap to me, especially in comparison to the ones I have.That's just my .02 though. I also think the sunroof sucks.

Wow, those are pretty good prices on the cobra wheels w/ tires.

Which finish would you choose to look like stock? Polished?

Also, anyone know anything about the Kumho 711's? I am looking for a good tire that does well in rain.

Thanks for all your help guys. I'm either going to go with the AFS or OEM cobra wheels. One thing that bothers me is the Snake or SVT center cap. I don't want my GT to be associated with a Cobra.

I just stumbled upon this center cap on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7915093371&category=43961

It appears to be an OEM Ford center cap. Do you think the SVT center of the OEM Cobra wheels could be swapped with this pony one? Would anyone know where I could purchase these center caps online if they fit?

and are those odd stripes on the trunk to cover up the spoiler mounting holes?
