IMO...I would say that he doesnt actually have the cobra wheels from the factory, well not the ford factory at least. My guess would be that you saw aftermarket cobra wheels, which look the same. Thats just me guessing, I'd have to see it to know for sure. I have a buddy with aftermarket cobra rims on his 97' LSC and they look awesome. I wanted them but I didnt want to copy, but I would definately go for them. In the JEGS magazine they have those rims you want and relatively cheap, they are 220 buck each for chrome, silver/machined are 147 bucks each.
They are made by Detroit Wheels when you look for em.
they are also 17x9s.
I would go for that, they do look great with the car a couple inches lower. Good Luck

The wheels he speaks of are infact a true Ford wheel "replica". You could buy them from Ford to fit the T-Bird/Mark VIII/Cougar platform. They were a SVT wheel, specific to the cobra, but also came from Ford in various bolt patterns/off-sets.
There are numerous aftermarket companies out there making this wheel, but it has the wrong center bore, which means hubcentric rings are required, since the Mark VIII uses the lug nuts to center the wheel, not the hub.
