Help...I need a full set of wheels and tyres for my crashed Cobra

[Mark Roberts]

Hi there

I've crashed my beautiful cobra (and jesus it hurts!) and to be on the safe side, need a full set of 15 inch wheels and tyres.

The car was originally fitted with Pirelli P7R steel braced radial ply, 225/65 VR15's on the front and 275/55 VR15's on the back. Thing is...you can't get them in the UK any more!...so I'm screwed!

The original wheels were 15-inch Aluminuim alloy with peg drive - 7.5 x 15 on the front and 9.5 x 15 on the back, centrelocking with real knock-offs, and the wheel centres painted white to match the car.

I'm looking for some good Halibrand replicas with white centres. My car came from the AC Factory with white centres and they simply charged me an extra $75 to get the wheels painted white. These original wheels were sourced in the States. so if any of you guys know who supplies the wheels for the official AC Factory in the UK, you just could save my life...and my sanity.

All I ask is for someone to contact me with any ideas as to where I can get a set of wheels that will fit the car and supply them with Goodyear Eagle 11 tyres. There are no clearance problems with the 15 inch wheels so the nearest tyre spec to the above tyre spec will be fine. I'm happy to follow your lead on the tyres.

I need your help guys...I'm hurting bad inside and the only way to get rid of the hurt is to get back on the road.
