Title says it all. I'm looking to buy authentic Ford Racing Cobra R wheels; the R58's. I'm looking for silver wheels only, no black or chrome. I know they're near impossible to find, and I have no problem paying shipping. Not looking for tires either. It has been brought to my attention that I cannot receive PMs yet so either post what you have to here or text me at 5-0-8-5-2-7-1-2-4-3.

Title says it all. I'm looking to buy authentic Ford Racing Cobra R wheels; the R58's. I'd love to find a set of R58 fronts and M179 rears that came on the '95 Cobra R, but I'm willing to settle for 4 R58's. I'm looking for silver wheels only, no black or chrome. I know they're near impossible to find, and have no problem paying shipping. Not looking for tires either. PM me with what you have!

I might be interested in selling mine when my car comes back from the body shop. They are authentic R58's from Ford and I purchased them in 2000. The finish is showing its age but I plan to have them refinished in the correct silver paint from Ford and I have a new set of correct center caps for them.

I sent you a PM, hopefully you got it.

Thanks John I will keep that in mind. Good luck with your sale as well.

Thanks man. At the moment I'm trying to find some R58's at the very least but I haven't had any luck. There's no sense in me picking up a rear set if I can't find a front, but I'll let you know if I do.

Is there a specific reason why you're looking for a mixed set of R58 and M179? If you're installing on a 94+ chassis, you're good to go with 4 R58s until you start lowering and/or running soft springs in autocross, or running tires wider than 275.

IIRC, the M179 was a specific offset for the pre-94 cars with 5 lug conversions so they could get the wheel width and diameter of the late models.

You're right about the M179's being pointless. I decided against it since I want the wheels to stick out a little more and I'm having trouble finding just R58's to begin with. I edited the original post to reflect this as well.
