Default Anyone have the Halibrand Cobra III Deep Lips?

THese wheels are incredible lloking, but only come in 17 in the deep lip. I wanted 18's, but I may settle on these. Does anyone have them on their S197??

They are available at Dscount tire.

So sorry to be the one to tell you...the deep lip Cobra III are the wrong setback for the 05-07 Mustangs...I have a set of the Cobra IIIs on order with the correct 43mm off set...and they have just enough lip ...these are such classic wheels and are also the wheel of preference on the true Shelby Cobra...the AC Cobra built in the 60s...I have been lusting for a car they would look right on for a long time..now they will be at home on my 07 GT soon.

Mind telling me where you got them, what size, were they a custom order?

I bought the Cobra III 17 x 9 wheel from Discount tire direct today. I drove from Akron to Columbus to pick them up, drove back home, went to NTB where they took off the old tires, mounted and balanced them on the new wheels and mounted them to the car. The wheels rubbed on the front brake calipers. I had to have the tires taken back off the Halibrand wheels, remounted, rebalanced on the original wheels . Discount tire direct sold me 4 wheels that won't work on my car. They will be going back ASAP. To NTB's credit, THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME ANYTHING, since they couldn't get the Halibrand's installed. I thought this was just superior customer service from NTB. I am extremely dissatisfied with Discount Tire Direct. All in all, I wasted 8 hours of my day because of Discount Tire Direct. The one bright spot was National Tire and Battery's excellent PR.
