Well, to say that I'm excited is an understatement.
If they fit a Kirkham and will be coated with the Dow 7 coating, then I'm VERY INTERESTED.

If this actually comes to fruition, I just figured out that I may have to order a set of Avons too. 
The Porsche guys always talk about that "slippery slope."
Fran, please post pics and more info soon. |

Seems as if any wheel project nowadays is hard to get off the ground.
A production run of wheels takes money and in this economy, there seems to be very little liquidity.
Halibrand keeps talking about doing a production run some day in the future too, but alas, nothing is happening as far as I know. |

I just hung up with Fran and he is still working on these. He is figuring out what backspacing options to offer so he can cover both the new Shelby rollers/original cars as well as many of the kit cars, etc.
I will be on a road trip with him this coming week to deliver his new Superformance GT40"R" and pick up his new GT MK IV so I will get all the details from him and make sure they are posted.

Rodneym and I both have Kirkhams, so excuse my ignorance, but please ask Fran to make some sets that fit a Kirkham.

Here is the deal as of today...
I can have the wheels made to your backspacing requirements (within certain limits).
You will have to call me and tell me what backspacing you will need.
You can get them with or without the DOW 7 finish
No Halibrand or Cobra markings on the wheels.
50% deposit required.
Since I am not a computer user - call me on my cell for more information 412-441-5750.

A follow up to my last post.
Here is the pricing...
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
