Default Well the new wheels arrived ...

and wadda ya know? They're wrong! I have a 91 4 lug and they sent 5 lug [:@]. So now I don't know what to do...

1. Send them back?
2. Try to sell them?
3. Make the 5 lug conversion?

Here's a pic ... Bastards! [>:]

No but really if they screwed up I would send them back or sell them locally if you got a good deal on them!

around 1000-1500$ on the cheaper side $2000+ if you want cobra or baer brake setups!

New rotors,calipers, axles, spindles possibly master cyl/booster depending on which combo you go with ect..

I did get a great deal! I won't go into details. I was just looking at them again and I don't think they'll even fit with a 5 lug. These look like 2 17-9's and 2 17-10.5's [:@]. I order 17-9's Cobra R's. They sent 2003 Cobras.

From where? Sounds like you got somebody elses order! Depending on which cobras you ordered the 03's are probaly worth 50$/wheel more.

Yeah I did get someone elses order. Cause along with the wheels I was suppose to get the lugs. Only wheels came. So I'll probably send them back, which means I'll have to wait probably a month to get them ... []

you can do a 5 lug conversion for a lot cheaper than that. its like 500 bucks. two ranger axels with the drums still on them works perfect for the rear
