I (hopefully) will be doing my own Kobra this year so I always ask questions.

The wheels are optional extra on BMW's made by a third party OEM supplier to BMW. Not quite meant for this model but the offset was great and it fitted tyres that cleared the suspension. The original Z3 clover leaf wheels didn't look right on the Kobra. I did buy some old 5 series wheels that I thought would fit but they would need special spacers made that would have cost £400+ so they are in a nice stack in my back garden pretending to be a garden ornament. Ditto the Z3 clover leaf wheels. Anyone need some wheels? Good luck with your build. The instructions I got from Tribute were pants but fortunately I like a challenge and having just restored a Robin Hood Lotus7 kit car then I had loads of experience to call on.
