No more fake Halibrands for me....
My "street car" vibe took another big step today - I got my fake Sunburst wheels all mounted up on my Fake Cobra.
I'm in love.... As soon as this car has enough rock chips to need a paint job, I'm losing the hood scoop and the chin scoop... :cool: http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/a...psbttpwpl5.jpg http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/a...pssiqovhrb.jpg |
looks awesome.....please me tell where i buy a set from?

I agree, looks great.
Keep the oil cooler scoop, but yes remove the hood scoop:eek: I would not be waiting on rock chips to remove the hood scoop, just do it:D Maybe add the front and rear hoops. Very nice, love the sunburst wheels! |

Peter Klutt I think has them. Not cheap but worth the $ Awesome car! |

Mine were actually made by Rocket Racing Wheels - : Rocket Racing Wheels | Rocket Sunburst Hypershot | Free Shipping From Selected Rocket Dealers! For reference- I ordered the 15x8's with -19mm offset, which means my backspacing is 3.75 inch, with 4.25 inch frontspacing. The tires in the photos above are the "typical" 295/50 rears, and 235/60 fronts that most guys are running these days. Note: These are not pin drive wheels - They are actually 5 lug (the lug nuts are black anodized, and hidden inside the little triangle shaped slots in the center turbine section. They require special splined lug nuts, which you have to order separately. You also have to order the special lug nut tool, and the knock-off style center caps separate. Because the original Sunburst had 10 spokes, these wheels are machined to fit 2 bolt patterns: 5 on 4-1/2, as well as 5 on 4-3/4. If your car uses Pin drive/ true knock off spindles, then you probably need to go down the Peter Klutt path for a set of his true replica Sunbursts... I ordered mine through SummitRacing: https://www.summitracing.com/search/...st%20hypershot . |

I am interested in those wheels. Can you please take a few more photos for me showing the FACE of the wheels and what the lug nut area looks like installed. I'm VERY interested!!! They look awesome.
|
Sure, I'll snap and post some close-up pics later this afternoon...
|
Thanks - the finish looks a bit "modern" - could be the indirect lighting in the shade, though. I thought they used to offer a sand blasted look version??
|
Very nice! The wheels are outstanding!

That looks awesome. Great looking Cobra. And yes, scoop(s) be gone.

sandblasting them would be cheap, if you preferred that look... ;) |
Beauteous Maximus!!!

Uber Sweet Robert. Looking forward to hearing your nasty pipes Saturday morning. Your neighbors are gonna love you, when you fire it up about 5am-ish.
Surprised nobody picked up on the pipes. EVIL! |

When cooler weather rolls in, and more road trips are on the radar, I'll be bolting the mufflers back on :LOL: |
Sweeeeeet! We'll have to get our streeters together sometime.

But it looks great with the black sidepipes too. :) |

This time of year I fire mine up every morning @ 5:45 on the way to the gym. It's my way of saying, "If I have to be up now, so do you!" |

I think CSX3225 is the coolest looking original Cobra I've seen, and you know "immitation, flattery, yadda yadda yadda..." This is the picture of Ray Shepard's car that tipped me over the edge when I was deciding whether or not I wanted to shell out the cashola for these wheels: http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/a...psfu3hrqve.jpg and, also this picture of CSX3279: http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/a...pslgtu62vp.jpg The "street car with sidepipes" look is the look for me... I love it. I'm still undecided about the nudge bars - I kinda like having less chrome to keep shiny... ;) |
