American Racing "Turbine" wheels 8x15"

Post by dom » Thu 16 May 2019, 08:05

Good morning!

I consider to modify a set of American Racing wheels (the "Turbine" design) to knock.offs for my Cobra.
Does anybody have a set?

I measure required backspacing shortly.

They are also called "Vector" wheels.

Or, to make things "easy"... 7.5x15 and 9.5x15 knock off rims for my Cobra (Halibrand)
5x120mm PCD, 86.6mm spigot diameter
