Default Cobra Wheels (Laguna Style)

Hello Folks:
Has anyone seen these exact wheels here in the US in 5 studs vs 4?


Tks for your input
Lou

They look similar to the Shelby Saab wheels.

5 bolt pattern will not work with 8 spokes of this design without compromising the strength of one or more of the spokes, the pattern is between spokes with 4 lug.

Don't know about that particular brand. Looks like a Minilite copy to some degree.

Yes they do look like the Minilite, I understand the proble with 8 spokes... I had the Laguna wheel on my 67 Volvo 123 GT and they were fabulous wheels and looked great!

I wish I can get something similar.
Tks

I just looked at the Panasport site, however, the model I like is the race wheel and they claim that these are for race purposes only not for street use...you would think that a racing wheel would be even better performance wise if used for street driving... am I missing something here?
Just read why--they are made of aluminum not alloy and they are very flexible, for tracks without the hazards of pot holes and road curving, also they (supposedly) will not survive the spoon of the mounting machine... ok I guess Panasport would be out of my choice list...
