Those look like real cobra wheels. Also a word of advice on black chrome my .02 is they always look like they are chrome covered in brake dust.

Chrome Saleens are just about the best looking Mustang wheel IMO. I'm gonna be ordering a set for mine whenever I get the money up.

chrome saleens are one of the cleanest wheels for the mustang. However they also show alot behind the wheel and in the wheel well and really look there best with nice calipers and cross drilled and slotted rotors IMO.

Go with a nice black or gray mesh wheel with a chrome lip. Looks killer on a white car...

Am I the only one that wouldn't change it? Those cobras are the best looking stock wheel to ever be put on a fox...

I've always thought those cobra wheels were just a lazy design by ford. They're like pony 2.0 wheels ...

I disagree. The 16" wheels on the 94-98 were Pony version 2.0 wheels, but the Cobra wheels are totally different. There's only so many ways you can reinvent a five spoke wheel without looking like another version.
