Pretty sure those are American Muscle rims. They sell them specifically for the 99-04 offset.
Those look reallyyyyyyy good on your vert bud
Freaking killer!
thanks guys for all the compliments.. cant wait to get some better pics up
They look great! Maybe a small spacer to make them sit flush in the rear? I really like them!
I have to agree with everyone else, they look sick. I'd like to see them on an sn95. I was real tempted to get them for mine, but I stuck with the saleens.
Looks awesome, I will probably do it on mine now, I have been looking for some good looking black rims but I didnt want saleens and TF was too expensive for me

Careful with those AM wheels. I had the same ones, and the casting was completely off on 3 out of 4 of them. Then AM sent me another set that they claimed they looked at and spun on a balancer, and those were all bad. I had my local shop spin them on the balancer before the tires were mounted, and they all called for more than 4oz a wheel...>WITH NO TIRES MOUNTED! And one of them was seriously miscast. You could visually see it wobbling when it was spun on the balancer. The machine said the wheel could not be balanced. They are garbage, hope you got a good set. But if you have had any issues with balancing, atleast now you will know why. I sent them all back, and had the same shop powdercoat my stockers gloss black. Much happier now.

Wheels look good, now you just gotta get those brakes cleaned up and you'll be set!
Wow, those look good
I have seen these wheels on a few 03/04 cobras and they all looked like garbage
I can honestly say, these look good and match the look of the car very nicely. I am impressed.

Look's awesome I have found my new wheels. any fitment issues did u get them from ford racing. I would like to order these asap so any info would be great. Thanks
MUCH better than the previous wheels!
sic shelby... i will keep an eye on the wheels, going to get the car aligned soon will have the wheels looked at then. as far as fitment issues with the 18x10 in the rear and a 285 /35 sumo tire the (stock) irs bolt was too close for my liking so i went with a 5/16 inch spacer which brings out the rear wheel just enough to sit even with the front wheel. it needs a bigger tire on the 10 inch rim but it will do for now. i ordered them through american muscle and the 285 sumitomo was the biggest they had. Since i'm driving the car daily i didnt want to go with a nitto that wouldnt have lasted as long. i have got so many compliments driving around town. i absolutily love the look and the fact the factory svt caps fit right in is awsome. Today i just placed an order for a new touch screen pioneer head unit and new speaks all the way around and amp and 10 inch sub. as far as visually i just put a new fuel door on today and will be powdercoating the calipers and getting new drilled and slotted rotors when the time comes to do brakes. Also just installed a jlt cold air intake and took the stock pully cover off, and my brother game me his x cal 3 im gonna put some tunes on it for the stock pulley size until i have time to get together some go fast goodies.
needles to say ive been very busy working on it a little every day or so. Looking forward to my photoshoot with my 99 lightning and the new cobra very soon as soon as weather breaks around here

Weird... you had to run a spacer with 285s, and those 18 inch wheels, to clear the IRS bolt? I assumed those GT500 wheels from AM where similar in fitment to FR500 wheels. I have 295s on my FR500s, and no clearance issues at all without a spacer.
Again though, your car looks great! :rockon:
