Default Wheel help pleaseeeeee

Soo I hit the curb and broke my 1995 Cobra R rim, just one of them. The size is 17x8 and every replica I've looked at or found is 17x9 and most are 5 lug pattern, I need a 4 lug. Anyone know where I can get a REAL 1995 Cobra R rim? I ordered one from www.buyfordracing.com but its the wrong size, and its not all chrome. So now I getta return it and hope they accept it....and pay more money for shipping...

Real Cobra R rims dont come in 4-lug. A real one is 5-lug and it only comes in 17x9. You have a 1995 Cobra R wheel which is 5-lug but you need a 4-lug in 17x8?,....Weird........Anyway CJ pony parts has the wheel that you said you need "17x8, 4-lug, Chrome, Cobra R, (Part # W46) $274.95 a piece. Not much cheaper.

We have all heard of and seen 4 lug Cobra R replicas, however he clearly states...

so he obviously doesnt know that his Cobra R's are knock-offs and not the REAL thing

but the part that gave it away to me was the fact that they are chrome... 95 cobra R wheels... the OEM ones, were silver

Who cares if they're real or not?
I love bootleg, lets just hook the man up with somewhere to find them.
I think I found some on Latemodelrestoration.com, but they are fairly expensive as well.
