New Cobra Owner, need advice on Seats and Wheels

[WarrenG]

Check with Vintage Wheels. I believe they have adaptors for lugs but not sure if they are 4 or 5 lug. They are great looking wheels and Vintage is supposed to be a great company to work with. For the seats you might check with ERA and see if their seats would work in your car. You might also consider keeping the present seats in case you ever decide you want to "race" the car.

Just a suggestion, If you use 4 lug to 5 lug wheel adapters, use the machined aluminum ones not some cheap stamped steel ones.

You also could change the front hubs and rear axles.

I've never cared for wheel adapters. I doubt if even the machined aluminum set are very safe. So I would be looking into changing the hub.

JoeT, thanks for the lead on the seats.

Jeddi,

I agree on using adapters. It really depends on how big the adapters are. People use them to adapt from studs to pin drive all of the time though.

Just trying to suggest some options.

Are those CCW wheels you have now? Those look similiar to mine except mine are black. Very spendy wheels at over $600 each.
