Not that it really matters but I like them, I thought the price was right too with those tires.

I like those wheels as long as you put them on the right side of the car. Nothing worse than seeing cobra wheels spin backwards. I remember when the knock offs weren't side specific. That crap got on my nerves every time I saw them.

I like them. There is no "new look" with 4 lug options but those were my favorite factory wheel.

From Jeff's way back time machine thread. They do look Good!
I really like that.
I got my new cruise control buttons in yesterday, so I reassembled my steering wheel. Looks pretty nice to me.
Yeahhh,..now that I think of it....You being the JY scroungin' individual that you are, should be able to find some pitiful 6 cyl SN car in that yard where your owner will let you get some front rotors, calipers, and spindles,...then a ranger/aerostar to pirate the rear axles and drums out/off of.
The red car started w/ 4 lug wheels. I purchased a set of 17" Pony R's w/ tires for a price similar to what you've been linking for the Cobra turbine wheel/tire pkg.
Then I changed the wheels at a later time to the custom C/L set that were last on the car when I sold it.
I got killed on the used Pony R's,...and on top of that,...hemorrhaged money on the 5 lug swap before having to rob a bank to pay for the wheels...(Because in a lot of cases,...when a large percentage convert their wheels over to 5 lug,...the wheels they choose are NOT the average Chinee knock off versions)
If a 5 lug swap, w/ ALL of the reasons for doing that is part of your grand plan,...consider how much you're gonna lose then,..and act accordingly.
Or conversely,..keep the existing 4 lug system,...get the Cobra wheels, and just start giving yourself an extra block to slow down.
or..
Keep the V-6,....You'll never get going fast enough for that to be a problem.
This. You're going to eat your shirt unloading 4 lug wheels. Buy once. A jy swap would probably be under 150 dollars if you keep the rear drums.

I like the 93 Cobra wheels. I think they would look sweet on a Coupe.
But...if you like bullitt wheels, you'll never truly be happy until you get them...
