Not sure if they're the exact wheel as in the photo, but they look close to American Racing's Silverstone 401:

Those look like Panasport C8 series wheels. Panasport makes super high quality wheels!

Look closer.  Not a dead match.  I believe these are Image Wheels not Panasport.  The lugs in the pic pass right through the spoke which join closer to the center than Panasports.   Here are the Image Wheels.

Team III also makes a similar Superlite clone that I've been looking at for my current ride.

Now that I look a little closer, I think you are right. The center spokes are closer to the center of the wheel.
Good call.

If you wanted to go for the Panasports, I can personally vouch for their quality. I had a set on my 240Z years ago.
Call them for prices.

I don't know if anyone makes a pin drive Torque Thrust wheel as used on some originals. I did find this thread on CC about a set for sale that had a spinner and lug cover: http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67176&highlight=torque+thrust
