So, I've got a 90 LX Notch 5.0 with the factory 10 hole wheels. Boring...
I've found a very nice looking set of 93 Cobra wheels, with almost brand new tires,,, $450 for the set !
Sounds like a pretty good deal, cause I think the reproduction ones are about $125 a wheel. So it would be like
I'm getting the tires for free. And I need tires on the Notch very soon anyway.
But I've heard that the original Cobra wheels have a different offset because those cars had a different brake setup or something. And I've heard the reproduction wheels have an offset that will work for all us foxbody guys with LX, or GT cars.
This guy doesn't know if his wheels are an original set, or repros, cause he bought them used. He also said his cousin has a foxbody with these wheels and they sit further in on the car, tucked into the wheel wells, and this guys wheels sit a little farther out, like flush with the fenders.
So is there a way to tell if these are the originals, or the repro's, Or, would they fit my 90 LX either way ?
