Moto-Lita uses a 92mm PCD with 6 unevenly spaced fasteners on the original Cobra and also any Replica Cobra's designed for the original Moto-Lita steering wheels. The reason for the dish in the wheel is, as Larry (LMH) already indicated, to clear the cockpit edge and the door allowing easier entry and exit from the car.

To my knowledge there is no steering wheel manufacturer that makes the wheel you are looking for, because both authenticity and vehicle fitment precludes its use. As is typical of a no demand type of product, there is an accompanying no commercial availability attribute.

That does not mean you can not get one. It just means you need to find a manufacturer that is willing to build a one off steering wheel for you, that they likely will never sell again. That usually comes with a fair amount of reticence on the part of the manufacturer to build the custom steering wheel and is accompanied by a corresponding price point you likely will find unattractive — assuming you can find a manufacturer willing to play ball.
