I tried to get David Kirkham interested, his business would be the perfect outlet to sell these wheels, or even to make them for that matter.

But that's per wheel, right? |

Yes, sir. If M&A produces and retains ownership of the wheel pattern, thereby the consumer doesn't have to pay for it via an added charge, then the wheel cost would be about the same price as the last run of Halibrands. |

How accurate are you willing to get?

There are wheel configuration regulations that have come to be since the original Cobra wheels were produced which, if adhered to, result in notable differences in new production from the original (like outside diameter of one is something like at least 3/4" different). Will you be able to split up the order so that some are made to the old spec if the invoices are labeled for vintage race cars only, or something to that effect? |

I would hope they would fix the backspacing on the front wheels so you dont need to add spacer.

I spoke with Ryan at M&A today. M&A is busy right now, but they're looking for a Fall/Winter 2009 project, so if you're interested in purchasing a set of magnesium wheels from them, please give them a call and get on their "interested party" list.
At the moment they're waiting on getting an original wheel from someone in order to make their patterns.

I stumbled across the Finish Line site (they build Shelby American cars) and was surprised to see that they advertise both 427 and FIA magnesium wheels:
http://www.finishlinecobraslv.com/options.html
Anyone know anything about where they get them, availability and cost? I suppose I could just call them... |

M&A is looking for some Winter work and, if there's enough interest, will make new molds and produce 15-20 sets. Anyone else out there interested? If you are, then please call M&A and give them you name and phone number. Thank you.

Would love to get the magnesium wheel project off the ground, so if you haven't contacted M&A to get your name on The List, then please do. Thanks.

Probably paying for a little bandwidth and support resources so you don't have to pay.

I would hope they are bringing some income to the site. Also, did you notice that the ads content pertains to the thread subject ? (I.E. subject and ads relate to "Wheels")

Hey, guess what? Out of the blue, I got an email today from the President of Halibrand. He said "We are currently looking to manufacture another run of our Cobra II wheels."
Is it coincidental that Christmas is in two days? I think not. 
Yahooo!  |

Sal, I assume they (Halibrand) will make them similar to their last production run in the early 2000's. The run from the early 2000's looked exactly like the run made in the 1960's or 1970's that Steve Sunshine was selling on eBay a few weeks ago.
I'll keep everyone updated, since I'll need everyone to buy a set to get this production run off the ground. The last prices were $765/each for the front and $795/each for the rear. I would hope the price will be similar since that is what M&A Castings was quoting ($725-ish) for a brand new wheel w/o the Halibrand stamp.
I plan to speak with Halibrand after the Holidays.
