    Rims

    Don't want t keep bugging FF5, figure if they are answering emails, that takes away shipping time..
    But anyone have any info on the availability/shipping times for 17" rims?

    If I had to do it over again I would purchase my wheels here. https://www.etmags.com/ac_iii.html

    The FFR wheels come from China and drop ship from wheel replicas in Texas to your door. I had a very unpleasant experience from the guys in Texas. If ET Wheels can get you set up I would see about cancelling the order from FFR.

    You might want to reach out to ET Wheels and see what they have available. They have some great custom options and set up specifically for Factory Five Cobras. Great quality and the polished wheels look amazing.

    You might check out these guys too. I bought a set of polished pin drive wheels from them. Very good communication and service.

    Looked into ET Wheels, and pulled the trigger. Called FF5 and canceled theirs and ordered some ET's.

    Thanks

    what size rims did you go with? the FF5 10.5's have a 6" back side setting, the ET's have a 6 5/8 back side. Want to make sure they will fit.
