Not Ranked
Tried out some 20" wheels today.
Some of you guys just want to keep ramming modern technology in to your Cobra's, thats fine if that is what you want, problem is they rapidly don't fit in with the original concept and aren't accepted with racing organisations etc.
Here in NZ they won't even look at you for classic racing if you go bigger than 1" diameter over original 15" wheels. Most of you with your big wheels wouldn't get a look in racing against the well sorted original spec cars with 15" wheels. So saying how much better these low profile sidewall tires perform over higher profile tires isn't always the case when the flag drops.
When I see a Cobra or an older classic style vehicle with 18" and larger wheels, they just don't look right, and not what these cars are about. In fact cobra's with over 18" diameter wheels and larger just draw attention to the owner as a dickhead.
