AC CSX Wire Wheels

If the donor car was 2465, it is unlikely the wheels are needed, as it is now a coupe with FIA alloys.

And the rest of the story is that CSX2465 was stolen in '71. "Police located it two weeks later in South San Francisco, missing its wheels..."

Now that's funny! My friend said he wasn't sure of the number, so from what is mentioned above about it being a coupe now, I'm guessing that is not the correct number. The car in question was owned by Dick H. in the western suburbs of Chicago - but I don't know when he sold the car. I was told that the wheels were painted white for possible use on a Healey when different wheels were put on the Cobra. I'll ask him to do a bit more digging and see if he can come up with the actual chassis number.

In the mean time, can anyone tell by the markings whether these are legitimate AC wheels or if they're just off some other British car of similar vintage?

When I tried to buy CSX2465 long ago it was an idependent racer less than a mile from my house with 15X6.5 six spoke magnesium wheels all around.
