[/align][/align]ya good call. i have noticed though, that most Cobra R wheels will work with just the front rotor swap to the 5 lug ones. i bought a set of 16's and they actually came off a car that had just the front rotor swap because he went to put his 03-04 cobra wheels on and the center caps popped off..
