There's been a good amount of talk, and a couple people claiming to have had them, but I can not find any pics.

Post 'em if ya got 'em.

yeah, i've spent awhile looking for them. I've thought it might be easier to borrow my friends cobra r's to try it out, but the tires are way wrong, and I don't think they'd clear my fenders.

I didn't even think about there being multiple cobra r's, oops.

I meant these:

Which should be 17x9+24, I think. Yours look like 18s, maybe? They look good!

I won't buy XXR's again. I had a set of them in chrome. They lasted about 2 weeks before the chrome started flaking off and the distributor basically told me to go **** myself.

[edit] I had a set of 962's in gold too and they were great, but the chrome ones were ****ed. Then to have them basically tell me I had to spend 80% of the price of another set to get a defect taken care of is bull****. They wanted me to pay to have them dismounted, pay to be shipped to them, THEN they would decide if it was a defect, if yes I would pay for shipping to receive another set, if no I would pay for shipping to get the original set returned to me, and then I could pay to have them remounted. So another $300 in shipping, and $160 in tire shop fees, and maybe, for my trouble, I could have a set of wheels that didn't look like ****.

Damn, that's messed up. Which distributor?
I guess that's why I got a plain design since I plan to plastidip them after I scuff them up a bit.

I don't even remember, it was like 5 years ago.

From then on I decided to stick with OEM wheels. They might be heavy, but the finish quality is usually better.
