I assume pricing would be similar to the current replicas. $476/set Silver, and $676/set Chrome. http://www.wheelreplicas.com/93Cobrawheels.html
Posted a link on www.scoa.org. Alexandros, I'm sending you a PM!
Well well well, what is this...you finally gonna convert Richard? :evilgrin:
I used the Bear kit that came with Dutchman axles about 1/8" longer than the Fox axles.

Here is an old quote from jeffo about the current replicas.
These wheels won't be light at all, but what do you expect with the massive chunk of aluminum you'll be getting.
STREETFIGHTER50, I think you misunderstood me. In my post I was ONLY refering to the centerbore that we all will need on these wheels.
As far as width goes, 8.5" is the ONLY option. Really the only option we do have is the offset and the two sizes that have been thrown out are +26mm & +29.5mm.
Alex, how we gonna decide which offset to go with? FYI the +29.5mm will stick out .14" further than the +26mm.

+26 mm would tuck inside more.
Just thinking of listing some pros/cons for each offset we're considering. Any others I’m missing?
+29.5 mm offset pros
Provide more fender clearance for those who use 96+ spindles and/or most aftermarket K-members.
Provide more fender clearance to run a wider (275/40) tire up front.
Help with fender clearance issues especially if you lowered your car over 1.5”.
Provide more REAR fender clearance for those with SN-95 axles and wide tires.
+26 mm offset pros
Help those who plan on widening these wheels.
Help fill the wheel wells for those with near stock Fox length axles (sit closer to the outside).
I don’t think these offsets are a big issue for the rear of our cars, weather you have stock length or SN-95 axles. I think the issue comes down to front fender clearance and widening the rear wheel. Yes, I’d prefer the +29.5, but we can flip a coin for all I care =). I’ll let those with front clearance/widening issues decide what we do and I don’t think the 3.5 mm between the two will really be a show-stopper for either camp. MHO-FWIW

Yes 3.5mm (.14") is less than a 1/4", but it is actually closer to an 5/32". :hammer: Sorry, I'll shut up now.
Read pages 4, 5, & 6 for details on the offsets.
