How can you tell the differance between an original 03 Cobra wheel and a 03 Cobra wheel replica?

I have no Idea. I know that on the FR500 rims the originals have rivets and Ford Racing printed on the rim ring and the center cap is different. But the FR500 was never much more than a concept unlike 03-04 Cobras. So there's probably not much of a difference in replicas and originals just depends on manufacturer.

I thought the original centers had the snake logo and the replicas had the head on them.

Some companies made the center caps a different size than Ford, so it is possible the Ford caps won't fit on a replica wheel.
