These have the stamping if REAL cobra R's! They probably have the higher offset to fit foxbodies though. Nonetheless, good deal!

What I meant to say in my last post was that these DO HAVE the stamping next to the valve stem that identifies them as REAL cobra r's. I did research on this a month ago. The "JW" and "kg" stamps are an easy way to tell they're real. Now, there are two types of real R's...one with the offset for sn95's and one with the offset for foxbodies.
Hope this helps. These wheels are actually very strong and lightweight compared to replica wheels. They are highly sought after by road racers, fyi

Pretty sure real cobra R's are stamped m197 by the valvestem! That's always been how I have been able to tell but these look to have the fox offset so the number may be different stamping!

Casey, you could be right, BUT, from reading multiple threads on corral, svtp, and other forums, the two stampings next to the valve stems are easy detections that they're "real." The two stamps I'm talking about are the "JW" or something like that, and a numerical value ending in "xxxKG."

The number stamped on the back side will tell you for sure.

Those appear to be the real deal R58 Cobra R (OEM on 95 Cobra R) - not the Fox specific offset. I run those same wheels on my track car.
