How can i tell if these rims are FRPP ? Or replicas?

Also, will the offset on these work with a fox body?

if they are oem ford, they will have a ford part number on them as well as the ford logo on the backside.

also, i dont think the oem cobra rs were chrome, but i may be wrong.

how much are you paying?

he was selling 3 with tires for $300 .. yes only 3

so i was going to take a look at them today to see the condition and if i bought a new one would it stick out like a sore thumb

That's kindof an awesome deal. Just clean up the 3 well enough so you can't tell the difference and don't tell anyone you bought just three.

I've seen the re-pops for about $100ea on one of the mustang parts sites (LMR I think???) not including the center caps. I wouldn't buy an in-complete set at that price unless they were OEM originals I needed for a resto.

Offer him $200 (if they're Ford originals) & get your 4th one salvage from car-part.com...

Did you convert your car to 5-lug? All the photo's of your car are a 4 lug set up. If you're interested, I'm selling a set of authentic Ford Racing 4-lug Cobra R's. See sig.

Haha ya, I still have them. I've not been putting much effort into selling them. They've been sitting in my bedroom in my apratment so long, I'm not sure what my bedroom would look like without them lining the wall.
