What’s so special about a replica Cobra with an automatic transmission? When it serves as the hero car for the $140 million grossing, 1995 Hollywood blockbuster “Bad Boys.”
Driven in the film by drug kingpin Antoine Fouchet in the final chase scene (a separate replica was destr…
Mecum got $1.3 million (not a typo) for the Porsche 964 Turbo featured in “Bad Boys.”

The more I look at that wheel package the more off they look.

Do the rears looked too tucked in to you, too?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Eh.... Maybe a little. I feel like the wheels are slightly too narrow for the tires. The centers are weird, this is what really got me. And the phony knock-offs look extremely phony and weird. And I'd prefer a same-size at all corners setup.
Now I'm looking at that roll-bar down tune, with the bolt in it, near the driver's head. Not great!

That is an understatement. They look like they are almost 4 inches too narrow. The fact that they are cheap 90's steel wheels from a JC Whitney catalog isn't helping.
In reply to Trent :
I kind of like a little sidewall bulge but this is too much. Shotgun the whole wheel/tire package and start over. Wine glass style Halibrands or gray-centered Torq Thrusts or even something modern like Enkei RFP1's would be a huge improvement.
isn't this technically a "villain" car? is that a thing? i mean nobody remembers other cars besides the Panther de Ville from 101 Dalmatians... so i guess it fits
as a side note, I did have to google the name of the car that Cruella drove, and after a few attempts to learn how Cruella was actually spelled; i learned it was the panther de ville

neither of those cars are from 101 dalmations, so my question was more to the point that if the MOST memorable car in a movie is driven by the villain is it a hero car or villain car?
This just sounds fishy
" the Kellison Stallion Cobra was placed into dry storage following the completion of filming."
For almost 30 years ?
In reply to ClearWaterMS :
I see what you’re saying. Can a movie’s “hero car” be driven by the villain?
The Gigahorse from Mad Max Fury Road?
In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :
These are the wheels used during the movie shoot. The centers were interchangeable. Original runway tires are available
In reply to californiamilleghia :
After the filming I decided to put this car away along with a couple others after I closed my business. And here we are, Almost 30 years later
