Wheels for a Cobra. The Ede 454 is a nice looking wheel, but the sizes and offsets are wrong. It might work in front, but not in back.

Least expensive Halibrand style wheel I found was the TeamIII at $300 each without spinners. 17X8 front, 17x9.5 rear. Those are the sizes you need for 235 front, 275 rear.

Before T3 introduced their 17's, almost went with a set of Centerline style 13.

But they build the wheel to your specs as far as bolt pattern, and offset goes. They look quite nice, very lightweight, and balanced up OK.

For Ford type suspension, I set backspacing on the wheel centerline and it worked out fine. Other setups you'll have to measure it, or ask other guys with same setup what they're using.
