Thanks all! I was looking on BaT this morning at a Backdraft alum bodies Cobra. Turns out it has the exact wheels (Cobra2) that I had purchased! Even the same size.

Eschaider, The wheels that Vintage shows in the larger sizes (17" & 18"0 are 5 spoke.The HA02 15" wheels are a copy of my Cobra 2 wheels- 6 spoke. Even the bolt on wheels they supply for the CR cars are a 5 spoke design.

I think I am going to get the car running using the American Racing Torque Thrust wheels I already have and look at narrowing another rear end so I can use the Cobra 2 wheels later. The rear end under the car is a 8.8 3.73 posi, but it is all 1990 stock with the C clips and drum brakes. I can upgrade the rear and use better axles with rear disc brakes.
