    Skinnies

    Jegs and Summit sell their own brand of skinnies. They make them to look like the prostars and draglites. They are one piece billet aluminium and are light as hell. They have the same strength as the weld pieces. I have them on my 66 with a 165r15 arizonan tires. The rims are 95 bucks and the tires are 50 a piece.

    I don't think the Summit wheels fit over the Cobra brakes. Maybe with a large spacer.

    They will fit with a one inch spacer just like the weld wheels will. Jeff if you need spacers let me know I have some at home you can have.

    Bogart also makes a nice wheel for the front, custom fit to the Cobra brakes. No spacer required. It's actually welded onto the hub already. You do need longer studs though, 3 inch if I remember right.
    They weigh about 11 pounds.
    M/T also makes a front skinny. I got mine through Summit or Jegs, I forget which.

    The bogarts tend to have longevity issues. I will have to check out the M/T.
