Default Halibrand wheels wanted

I am new to the exciting Cobra owners life.
The wheels my car comes with are not to my taste.
I am looking for some Halibrands for it. I did a search and found a fair bit of info, but things change daily and there may be a whole bunch of new suppliers, or a set for sale.
can go 15's or 17's
5 x 120
Will want lug nut covers and centre nut of knock offs.
I don't quite understand what the drive pin system is. I have wire wheels, and that has a bolt on drive hub.
This car is NOT for racing, just for the missus to cruise and me cruise once in a while.

Try Vintage Wheels - a sponsor of this website. https://www.vintagewheelsus.com/

5 x 120mm. Is your car a Backdraft? What do they use? Do they have wheels you can purchase that would already be the correct offset / backspace?

OP,

Brian's guidance is spot on. Vintage has wheels available for just about any Cobra replica that is out there. Additionally, if you happen to have a mongrel, for a small additional fee, Vintage can supply the wheels with the custom back spacing you specify for your car.

If you are finding things changing daily, as you indicate you are, then you are looking in the wrong places. It would behoove you to go to Vintage sooner rather than later. The manufacturers of these wheels have not changed in decades. Neither has the pricing significantly changed other than the usual adjustments for inflation.

Vintage will have all the necessary accessories you will need to flesh out your installation, so you will enjoy one stop shopping for your new wheels.
