The Minilite and Halibrand replicas I showed you are available from a Cobra replica firm up to 17". The listed cost is reasonable and weights comparable to modern wheels.. Larger sizes are available from a British firm but are quite spendy.

Salt Flats can be custom ordered (in chrome or anthracite coating) from American Racing.

I'm not so hopeful about the Dayton rims. Our offset may be too much. They already went through the wringer with the Solistice crowd a while back. They did show off some 17s with the BMW Z4 and the current Jag coupe, but I think their offsets are smaller than ours. I'm not sure I should spend $3700 for a set of 17" wheels heavier than our rear stock wheels
