Tenrocca, I dont expect my car to be finished for about another year and 1/2.

That ERA kit is one of the best looking Cobras ever built.

Using anything but 15s makes it hard to replicate that look. Ive used 17in OZ wheels but before they were painted we milled of quite a bit from inside section that bolts up against the hub. We then drilled out the holes for the wheel nuts leaving plenty of metal for strength. You could pick up another 7-10mm if you machined the front of the wheel where the spinner bolts up against. I wish I had done this to mine.
The guys that arent using nuts are also loosing about 10mm of dish because of the threaded centre.

There is no reason why all CRs couldnt come with the correct dish front and rear.
At the moment the reason they dont is purely financial, the cars are moving out the factory door so why would CR bother changing anything.

Regards.
