Anyone know how close these match to OEM.

Waiting for the chrome ones to come back in stock...

I sent a request in to LMR to give me some honest feedback. Let’s see how honest they come back with or how sales-y they come back with. Their answer will tell me whether I order these.

I’m an OG rim guy for these Cobras but need the 315s for traction. These would be perfect for me.

I called them the other day for the machined ones as well. The rep told me they should be close. I didn’t take the chance. Matching 20 year old wheels seems a little difficult to me

I got my reply this morning. They told me the machined surfaces should obvioulsy be fine, the painted portion will probably differ due to the age of the factory wheels/wear/tear/etc. His best guess to me was an 8/10.

I ended up ordering them and taking a chance. If I have to order new fronts I'm OK with it. I just prefer the look of the OEM Machined rims on my car. My car isn't winning any car shows and if I have to tolerate it for a bit I'm OK with it.

Post some pics when you get them mounted

I'm in for pics too. Looking at getting a pair so I can have a bit more grip.

A buddy of mine ordered a pair of the LMR 17x10.5 brushed

They look nice.

 

[2003RedfireVert]

Mine are here. They are nice. I’m getting my tires mounted and balanced next week and I’ll post pictures.

 

[2003RedfireVert]

They are on. They do have a slight difference in the painted part. It’s not super noticeable unless you know they are different. I already like this better than the previous setup. I’m happy with them!

These are back in stock for what it’s worth.

Do the svt center caps work? May get me some chrome 18’s for use.

I bought the SVT caps from LMR which are Ford OEM and they fit. They are a tad lose…by tad, I mean very slight. They did not fall off on my drive to and from Bible study…of which I hammered it twice and hit 120 and they never fell off. I was not going to run SVE caps anymore.

I just bought a full set of machined 17x9's on eBay and a pair of 17x10.5's from LMR yesterday....

 

[robvas]

17x9's came in. Center cap suggestions? Cobras, SVT, Ford logo, anything other than the ZR logo. Decals?

I did SVT since that was OEM for our cars.

I put Cobra R logos on the center caps of my aftermarket wheels. I also had the ZR logo and did not like it.

I know my fix is not for everyone, but I like it.

Not the best picture. Sorry........

I bought four 17x9's on eBay and two 17x10.5's from LMR

Wasn't sure if they would be the exact same color and finish but they are. Both are stamped "wheel replicas"

They look like crap because of tire machine grease, handprints, and condensation from bringing them inside the house.

Got my drag radials put on. Just waiting on my 275's to show up.
