For 4100.00 each , I have some for sale right now and for 2500.00 more you can keep the Avon tires on them

I'M SORRY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
That was a TYPO ! ! BUT $1,100 EA IS NOT A TYPO. That's $1,100 EA, front or rear. With or without powdercoating. In any backspacing. Sorry about that. It's not like anyone rushed to call Fran and give him a deposit on a $16,400 set of wheels. :LOL: Well, maybe Rodknock. We know he's loaded. **) I hope I didn't cause any heart attacks. I know some of you are old timers :p |

The whole aluminum SOHC head and timing cover story over on the FE Forum gives me pause.

I was looking for a CSX DODGE DAKOTA SHELBY. Yup. All purdy like, too. Sunroof top. Diamond in the back. BTW, when I said you were loaded, I meant drunk. |
See fran's note below

Just for the record - I am really going to make Mag Wheels - and you will be able to pick your backspacing - they will not be marked Hallibrand or Cobra, but will be marked 7.5 or 9.5. I only need orders for 25 sets to proceed - if you really want Mag wheels call me 412-441-5750 - If I get your depost before March 1, the price will be $4000, after March 1, the price will be $4400 a set.
Thanks - Fran Kress |
Thanks for adding to the thread, Fran.
Looks like we'll get some mags made after all! Halibrand said they need a little more time. Maybe they'll have their info by your discount deadline. May the best man win. Could there possibly be a choice for us?:JEKYLHYDE If that happens, I'm buying a lotto ticket. One way or another... |

...and a thought I had for either producer. Will the valve stem holes be in the Halibrand locations or Trigos?

I was assuming the original Halibrand location, since they're direct copies of the original 60's wheel, but one should never assume. :eek: |
Rodknock and others,
Fran DID say he uses Dow 7. 'Pickling' is Richard's description, just so you know. It needs to be applied to the magnesium to make it somewhat stable, as it only lasts for a "while". I don't know if that means weeks, months or years. I didn't get into specifics with Fran. He can also simply leave out the powdercoating altogether (nice choice I might be leaning towards). The 'gold' tone centers is part of the process of magnesium 'turning' over time. Richard said he uses Dow 7, then powdercoating. Fran is VERY flexible and will do what you like. Richard intends to make them like last time (but he did mention that requests would be taken). I believe the pic you put in this forum was from that last Halibrand run, no? The biggest choice will be if you want Halibrand's new coating process. Say YES if you want them to look new. Say NO if you want them to do what they've always done (turn over time and stay on top of them for maintenance). Whew. |

I wonder in Fran's terminology if the Dow 7 treatment is the powdercoating? It sounds like Richard has a two-step process. The Dow 7/pickling and then the powdercoat.
Yes, I have several pics from the last Halibrand wheel run and I posted one earlier. |
Ya-Fran's elimination of the logos got me wondering. I suspect Richard's will be original-style.
