6 Pin are for a CSX and GT40

5 Pin are for MKIII and Daytona Coupe

Stephan427SC 01-14-2011 12:44 PM
so they are available with 6-pin ? I would like to use them for a Kirkham 427 cobra......

I'm still struggling with how 17's look on these cars, so how am I supposed to think about these? Except for better tire choices, that "look" just doesn't do it for me on a mid-'60s classic.

SPF keeps reinventing themselves, first with the Ford and GM engines now wheels etc.

The Superformance MK III uses a five pin wheel system......BUT, these are coming soon for the GT40 which is a six pin drive the same as original Cobras and therefor Kirkhams and others.

Just doesn't quite look like a 427 Shelby Cobra with those wheels and tires.

Tim Brewer 01-14-2011 09:29 PM
I think they look great, they're just priced way too high.......unless the $2500 includes tires as well.

Those definitely add a unique look. I think a pair of both 18s and 15s are in order because sometimes you feel like a nut..sometimes you dont. BTW. the polished version of those rims are available on E-Bay for 1999.99 every day.

The first SPF I test drove had a similar vibe of this one. It had the 18's with sticky tires and a Roush SB with a supercharger.
I'm not a huge fan of the big wheel look but if you're gonna go 17, go all out for 18's. ;)

15, 17, 18" I don't care. They are all Be-U-Tee-Full! I am so glad I got one!

Andy,

The ones that are on Ebay for 2,000 are the older "smaller" 18's...just an FYI.

I went from 15's to 17's and like the look, but for some reason the extra inch of the 18's does not do it for me. I saw a prototype set in person a couple years ago on a SPF and did not like them.

Just a couple more pictures...

Not a fan of the bigger wheels in general, but I like these better than the 17 inchers... they fill up the wheel wells better.

N2VENOM 01-26-2011 06:52 AM
I'm planning to get a set for the KMP flip-top. Who has the lowest price?

Stephan427SC 01-26-2011 11:01 PM
Where can I get these wheels from and get more informations about sizes and dimensions...? Thanks, Stephan
