They look identical to them, I cant be sure if they are exactly Cobra wheels though.
My buddy had some of the Chrome Cobra wheels on his T/A and it didnt look right at all.

why do people call them Cobra R rims?, they were actually the 1998 Cobra Wheels

I know I had them on my 1998 Cobra

the Cobra Rs from 93, 95, and 00 did not have these wheels AFAIK

but yeah they are Cobra knock offs

Yes they are... at least Im about 95% sure they are. The tires look over sized though so I'm not 100% positive. You can PM the guy he was/is a member of the board
