Detroit stopped casting their 5-108 casts about 5 years ago or longer. They no longer even have the casts for that wheel. Its NEVER going to be built again. Not to mention that their cast spec's were not as advertised. They said they were +36MM when actually they were closer to +40MM. Their wheels were nothing but a headache for me and Im glad they quit building them because if their CobraR wheel didnt fit right then that meant NOBODY's CobraR's would fit right...heh
Just because a website says they have something doesnt meant they have it. Ive found that almost always they DONT have it unless their supplier DOES... ;-)
Nobody wants to be the same...Everyone wants to be differant...Nobody wants to pay to be differant. Some will even pay more to be differant, end up not liking the look but thats OK because they are differant...lol
Sorry but I find it all to be amusing.
Lastly...To the fella that was curious about the weight differance between the CobraR and the Saleen (I think thats right). There is no weight differance, they are about the same give or take a few ounces. So long as you are comparing a 18X9 with an 18X9. 17X9's are almost 2lbs lighter than the 18X9. 18X9 cast wheels generally weigh around 25lbs.

How convenient
Would you call it ironic to put wheels on a car that cost more than the car?

Oh without question and I see it all the time. Some of them have a ton of money into them and some of them are done conservative. Either way if you do it, at least do the car some justice and do it RIGHT. Style always boils down to preferance but fit at times gets overlooked and thats an injustice to the car and your hard earned $$ IMO.

When I had my tbird thats all that was out there was nice and thats what I wanted, but now I'm really diggin those staggered bullits. That is the set I'm thinking about now, I'm not sure how the grey will look with ivory. Too bad they don't come in chrome, oh well I think I'm gonna get these anyway.

They would look hot on an Ivory car...BTW I think there are only 2 match sets of these left. Im not sure on that but last time I looked they were getting low. I need to update my stock numbers on the website.

So I am looking for wheels so I wont have to switch over to Cobra Hubs and every time I try to go to your web site my Firefox blocks the page as an attack site!
That and the Bullits are only in 18" cause I am not sure if an 18" can survive the roads around me

The OS Commerce service I use is having problems with a redirect. If you want the wheels call the shop @ 509-843-1401. Only one set left and they have tires mounted on them. All packed up and ready to ship the same day.

Yes you can get aftermarket Cobras with our bolt pattern but you have to do a Cobra hub swap to use factory Cobra rims that are much cheaper.
Just posted this from my Droid X and it's awesome!
