I like them. I have looked at those before but they are out of my price range.

I love those original Cobra style wheels. I'd like to see a set on a 4th gen to see if they work with it or not. They'd for sure look sweet on a 1st gen Camaro.

You obviously haven't seen enough real Trans Am Camaro race cars. That style was big on a lot of Camaros.

Photoshop time??????????? I'd like to see those wheels on a 4th gen too. If I decide to get something like that (Cobra style), I'll get a different center cap. I kind of don't like the Spinner thing. I love the lip of either wheel 60 or 48. Both kinf of remind me of the TTII. Again, just trying to get something different. Yeah GETGONE, some people have told me that those wheels were coool in camaros and trans ams back in the day.

IMHO, the wheels look really cool, however ONLY if they have some dish to them. In a 4th gen f-bod offset, I don't think they'd look that good.


Never mind the "Ford" comments...Cragar, American Racing, E-T all were well known aftermarket wheels, just as the "Cobra" Halibrands were. The wheel doesn't know what make of car its on.
