Don't quote me on this but I believe they look like the '94-'98 Cobra rims. I think the '94/'95 Cobra rims were plain and the '96-'98 Cobra rims had the black inside the holes.


But once again don't quote me on that.

1994 Cobra pace car had these on it.

The Pace Car got the painted centers, but those style wheels were available for a few years.

My curiosity about these wheels was driving me crazy and after some detective work I figured out the 'mystery'. The information was found in two places; first from this very expensive book I bought several years ago called the Hollander Wheel Interchange Manual, and second from Car-part.com. The manual (which I forgot about having until just now ) is the book version of wheels on Car-part.com but with more specific technical information. Don't know why I didn't think of these two options sooner.....


Here is the rundown of these style wheels used from `94-98 (if anyone cares to know):

`94-95 had two choices, both with a polished aluminum face. The pace cars received the argent (dark grey) paint between the spokes and cobras received the silver paint between the spokes.....

`96-97 had one style that only came on cobras, pace cars were done for. These had a machined face with the argent paint between the spokes, just like the wheels pictured in the first post of this thread.....

`98 had one style only found on the GTs, they had a machined face with silver paint between the spokes. This year and only this year came with a solid faced hub cap which showed no lug holes, unlike the `94-97 style where you can see the lugs.....


There you have it, the cold hard facts for these wheels that nobody seems to care for but myself. If you're curious I plan to put this style wheel on a particular Aerostar if I end up buying it. They should make it look decent enough to be seen in on a daily basis, it will be my only vehicle once I move to AZ......
