Tony, the Factory Five Racing Forum has various suppliers of wheels and tires for your buying enjoyment.

http://www.ffcobra.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Depends if you want the original style or going with something different. I know some that are going with Cobra ( mustang ) wheel setup. Also, with the 15" wheels high performance tires are almost non-existant. The BF Goodrich are mostly SR speed rated, there are several other manuf. that have produced others such as Pirelli and Michelin but you are limited to sizing. With 17" wheels you can pretty much get what you want.

Hope this helps, Randy

P.S. my wheels are PS Engineering Halibrand replicas ( 15" period correct ).

Good things come to those who wait...Sorry Couldn't help myself But really, there are few replica wheel companies out there that make a great product who may take a month because of the demand their product creats.

On the other end if you are going with bolt on wheels it should be too hard to find someone here with good contacts to get you on the road soon. Good luck!

My PSE wheels took about 3 weeks

Thanks that is a good selection of wheels on the cobra .
I really wish I could get some Torque thrust D in 17x10.5 .
It is hard to beat the Halibrand style on a Cobra .

Anyone know what manufacturer Shelby used for the slotted mags he put on his personal car. Look like brushed aluminum and clearly aren't Halibrand.

We have used these folks in the past. They can pretty much make up and size wheel you want for your ride. We used a 17' set on our demo car.

Hope this helps.

Tony, E-mail me your cell number. I'm putting you down on the contact list for directions just in case someone gets lost on the cruise. Thanks!
