A question or two for you guys... I wanna have pin-drive wheels on my Cobra. Just a personal preference. As I understand it, I have 2 ways to do this:

1. "True" pin-drive wheels which require special hubs (very expensive).

2. Trigo pin-drive wheels that use a 5-lug hub with an adapter (much less expensive).

The problem is, I want my wheels to have the proper "deep" look. You know, the depth from the outside of the rim to the spokes (is this what you call "offset?). If I understand the Trigo's design correctly, this depth would have to be slightly less to accomodate the adapter and still maintain the proper track.

So if I'm wanting to maintain the correct "depth" AND the correct track AND use the Trigos to save a bunch of money, do I have to have the half-shafts shortened? If I choose to leave the half-shafts alone, is the difference in "depth" very noticable?

I know it's a picky thing, but I'm only gonna build one of these in my life (that's what I keep telling Elizabeth anyway) so I want it to be juuuuuust right.
