03-04 Cobra question

[Terry Moenich]

Did 03-04 Cobra's have an Aluminum Mine Spare wheel?

Thanks

My '03 (july 02 build) does not have the aluminum spare.

I have a dreaded 'space saver'- and have had to use it!!!

 

[19COBRA93]

My '93 cobras had the aluminum spare. I think '94-95's had them too. Not sure on '96-98, but my '99 and my '03 Didn't have them.

Since I converted my 83 Mustang to 5 lug, I need that dreaded space saver...just in case.:shrug:

I prefer an aluminum one, anything 94 and up will work.

Any suggestions?

eBay?

Yep, they come through ebay.

If you want to get it over with Ford Racing offers one in their catalog.

yes the 03/04 spare is aluminum. its not bare alu like the old fox one, but compare the weight to a steel one.

Thanks!! Ebay is empty right now

Both the early '03's I've had have been steel.

I'm not sure, but I think my 2 95 2-Tops have steel S/S spares, painted black.

I'm pretty sure the 03/04 wheel is steel also. I'll stick a magnet to mine when I get home tonight and see.

I would have said it was steel, but a magnet does not stick.

Here you go, Vince...

Terry,

I just did the magnet test on mine. It is definitely non-ferrous and appears to be painted aluminum. I haven't put a file to it to check if it is aluminum or stainless.

I saw a spare 03/04 sell for $125 on eBay before, which I thought was real high. I heard some of the guys buy them for skinnies.

This thread must made me realize that the original spare in my '93 is useless now because of my 5 lug conversion. Good thing I kept one from my other wrecked '03.

I moved that damn spare around a million times, I was sure it wasn't aluminum.

 

[ShelbyGuy]

steel wheels are HEAVY!

 

[ac427cobra]

steel wheels are HEAVY!

But not nearly as heavy as a Y2K Cobra R wheel!! :fart:

Valy Interesting.......

Doe's a regular '94-'95 Cobra have a 5-lug aluminum space saver? I've never seen one. I know the '95Rs didn't come with one. :read:
