Street Wheels - Sunburst For Sale

[fast_4]

First question, I tried to start new post or thread, but could not find out how to do it! Could some one tell me how?
Here is my Sunburst question.
Do these wheels have porosity problems that increase with age and what do you look for when buying these wheels used. Were any made in aluminium?

[Dan Case]

This design of wheel was only cast in aluminum as O.E.. I have seen originals that required the use of a tube because of porosity from day one. (Ditto 1966 GT350 optional aluminum wheels.) There have been copies made in aluminum and some type magnesium alloy over the years. The wheels offered in the auction look somewhat odd and created a buzz of e-mail traffic among 427 Cobra owners. Look at the center hubs. The machining appears in the pictures to be quite a bit off center of something. Just don't look right.
