Ford vs. Replica wheels
 

Example: Tire rack says a chrome cobra R weights in at 22 pounds for a 17x9. I then went to a replica wheel sight and it said it weights 27 pounds. Now I know theirs alot of different replicas out there but I guess what Im asking is whats the differents? How does your replicas rate against the real cobra R's and how much does it weight in at (17x9 chrome)?

What nobody knows?

I believe ours weigh in around 25...at least thats what im remembering.

who the hell cares how much they weigh? If they look good. and the quality is about the same. And teh price is right....teh win

Throw 5lbs at 60mph and it makes a big difference
 

I have read that the "thrown weight" is a serious thing to consider if your road racing. The lighter the wheel the more you keep your weight to the center.

But sometimes it better to look good than feel good...

yeah, worry about the weight if speed is your issue. remeber something thats heavy and spins is heavier that something that is just at a stand still...thats why people get aluminum drive shafts...thats what my shop teacher said...hes all bad ass with aerodynamics and stuff.

Yes its important, but the Ford wheels are heavier, lol.

light and nice
 

i have cobra r on my 95 GT. they look nice. lightweight too. looking for steeda ultra lites for my 04 GT. they too look nice.
