I have a set of cobra R rims for sale, they are chrome and all have moderate corrosion and some of the chrome is flaking off. One rim needs allot of work I tried to have it sand blasted so I could re paint them but that failed so I just want to get rid of them, structurally there solid but there not pretty. Make me an offer. I will ship if you pay for shiping.
There is a cheaper one, but it says some restriction apply, but doesn't say what, so I'm guessing we can just do the cheaper of the two, if they don't tell me there is a problem.
For any one else who is interested the rims according to my bathroom scale say they are 30.5 LBS each and boxed up I just used 20x12x20 for the dimensions.
do you think they would be ok after powder coating?

I have not forgotten about this thread, I made a post in our local forum, at the meet on friday one of the mustang guys is going to let me test out one of his wheels for fitment. They are only the 17X9's but I think that will give me a very good idea if this has a possibility of working.

Yha it's the 5x4.5 bolt patter and the same offset as a mustang.
If you can get the chrome off powder coating would be fine. There is just allot of surface corrosion and the chrome if flaking.
I was thinking if I cant sell them I was going to grind the chrome and just paint them straight black.
I'm not sure though, just kind of sucks. I paid 350 for them. And it would be nice to sell these so I can pay for shipping on a new ones.

Anybody? I will knock 25 off? please I need them gone.

I apologize the kid that was supposed to show up with the wheel never showed. After some measuring I think the wheels would have to be +10 to fit, I am looking into any other possible ways that I might be able to get them to fit.
