What do you think of these?

Don't be surprised if Swain chimes in with something Budnik has to offer or has the ability to produce. I see a few that look close but might not have a Cobra calibrated eye. Having said that, The right combo can really lend itself well to the look you might be seeking without being "correct".

Track Junky has a good suggestion and I would talk to Newstalgia wheel too. I know VWW introduced 18" sizes in the v40 and v45 a year or two ago. It is worth inquiring if their Shelby style wheel is coming in 18's but their site shows 17 as the max.

Thanks, and yes VWW makes an excellent wheel. The backspace offered in their wheel (4.5") is more suited to the Eleanor's and cars with fender flares.

I have to get the wheel at least 1/2" deeper

That's a gorgeous wheel. I'll defintely take a closer look at their products, thanks! Very nice!

Newstalgia has been one of my favorite wheel sites for many years, but unfortunately the custom deep front backspacing I need, makes it tough to get any off the shelf wheel to fit.

Right now I am using a 94/04 Mustang set, stock 17 x 10.5 rears and 17 x 9 fronts, which have 1.1 removed from the backspace, and 3/16 shaved from the hub face of the wheel, and a machined hub center, to clear the wheel bearings.

Unfortunately I don't see any new offerings for the 94-04 mustang wheels, that I like.

You're very welcome. I have no affiliation whatsoever but I think the Schott wheels with the concealed lugs and tri-bar look seamless and very well made. For yours I would pay extra to go either logo delete or incorporate a Cobra emblem for sure.

You are building an icon.

Thanks for the plug on Grudge ^^^^. There's a few of the Grip Equipped line that we're currently looking at doing a tri-bar knock off option for, Grudge is included. You can get 18"s with custom widths, stepped or smooth lip, offsets and finishes. And they're manufactured here in the US by Forgeline.
