Found some wheels for the old schoolers.

This company, Futofab-> http://www.futofab.com/index.php?opt...hk=1&Itemid=73

They are a dealer for VTO wheels, which makes some old school Panasport and 4 spoke classic wheels. The good news, they custom drill for nearly any size. They are also stud centric with a steel sleeve that is not clearcoated to prevent marring or the wheel loosening (think retorqueing the wheels all the time, don't have to worry here).

I am thinking about getting the Classic 8 in 15x7 5x114.3 for the Cosmo. Black with the polished lip.

From what I have found online, the 15x6's are 14lbs. Not bad.

Are you changing the lug pattern on the cosmo? If not, you may want to check the size and pattern again I think it was 4X120. it was an odd car even in its day with disk brakes all around(drum emergency brake inside the disk) coil spring/multilink rear suspension etc...

I am fully aware that the factory pattern is 4x120. I am doing anq FC front hub and brake swap, and a GSL-SE rear axle with 5 lug axles.

I'm on top of it!

OK just wanted to be sure. are you just redrilling the GSLSE stock axles or using the Moser axles like what RE-SPEED sells?

The plan is to use a GSL-SE or 84-85 'big bearing' 3rd member assembly with the RE-Speed axles.
