Looks like a Team3 wheel,always an excellent choice.Rims are polished with matte centers,but may be available in complete polish.Knockoffs are available in matte or polished.Very nice people to talk to,located here in N.Ca.Very informative website as well.

Gary....so the ones in the pic have matte centers? In a way they look polished....and then again they look natural. Just making sure.

The info from the website calls it a "polished aluminum rim and light matte finished aluminum center section" It is of two piece construction,which allows for many offsets.According to the site,the wheel is very light and comes with the matching lugs,and valve stems.It has been several months since I talked to them at Team3,but they indicated that they were very open to your specific needs.(I can't remember if the matte is a powdercoat,but I tend to think it is.)They even said they can mount tires for you,you you don't have to worry about the local tire jockey tearing up the edges.They also come in 17in.I ended up deciding on pindrive wheels,otherwise this is what I would be rolling on.Web site is www.team3wheels.com . Have fun!

That's where I got the pic...It's a helpful website...I like all the stuff about offsets...

It says they also offer the centers of the wheels polished....I was just wondering if the above wheels had polished centers or matte centers....

Thanks for the info Gary!

You may want to check the wheel gallery at the FFR owners forum. I believe there may be some pictures of polished Team3's there. www.ffcobra.com

Looks like the pictured wheels have a glossy paint/powdercoat to them...centers arent as shiny as the polished lips...

Team III Wheels
 
Blykins,

They're Team III's and the centers are not polished. The knockoffs used to be available in either matte or polished finish, but now they only come in polished.

I got a set through Finish Line and they came with valve stems with Cobra caps, wheels and the knockoffs. Complete set including shipping was under $1500.00.

Take a look at my photo gallery, I have a pic of one of my wheels there. It is not the clearest of pics but it's decent enough to see the detail of the wheel.

The centers are a grey matte finish and some guys have the centers powder coated in a darker matte finish.

Try 'em I think you'll like 'em.

Hey Tony...

Thanks a lot. I knew they were Team III's and I knew I really liked them...but I just didn't know from the angle if those wheels were polished inside or had the matte finish. That answers my question.

I definitely like the looks of them...and your Cobra looks great with them.

Thanks again,

Brent
