Any new developments on the Sunburst wheels? I put down a deposit on Vintage "Halibrand style" wheels with Bob but really wanted a Sunburst wheel for my ERA Street car replica.

Me? Hell Steve, I don't own sunburst rims but I sure as hell would like a set. But I'd like mine with the Trigo dimensions. Real ones are just too damn skinny for the rear and I don't want Wilf noticing things like that.:LOL:

Pictures of the real ones...I've seen a bunch of these wheels in person and the castings on the original wheels were nothing great, lots of tags, pits, etc., that also speaks to the charm of the wheels and that time in history...

Anyone hear anything from Team on the Sunburst wheels?

DanEC 01-20-2010 02:31 PM

Hello Team Wheels - anyone around??????????

TEAM THREE WHEE 01-20-2010 09:13 PM

sunburst
 
we are dilligently working on theis and several other projects. The 10" rear wheel is a problem, as that wheel to keep it looking correct would need to be a reverse mount, that would prevent the use of outboard discs or uprights that would not fit in a 13" dia circle. the current wheel will be 15 x7.5 with 3" back in 6 pin. we are still working on draft angles and shrinkage for the permante mould.

FrankJohnson69 01-21-2010 05:58 AM

So, no 5 pin options in the same deminsions as the Trigo's? I would guess you'd have a larger customer base that way.

TEAM THREE WHEE 01-21-2010 11:52 AM

the wheels will be 6 pin, 5 pin, and bolt on. the 5 pin will be 15 x 7.5 3 5/8 backspace, same as trigo, and can be cut to 4".

Thanks for the reply Team III. Is there a tentative date for wheels to be available for sale yet?

jolsen42 02-04-2010 04:37 PM

Any news when these will be available. It's not that I'm impatient, it's just that I can't wait. :LOL::LOL: John O

None made in 9.5 x 15 with 3 5/8 back space? Just to fill the rear wheel well?

DanEC 02-16-2010 07:15 PM

Team Three - any update on production and release date yet??

Dan

Hey John,
Why the edit on your post? I read it yesterday and wondered if you have any pictures of the different rims and cars you spoke of yesterday?

Team III any updates for March or April?

DanEC 03-26-2010 06:45 PM

Well - I think I've held Bob off at Vntage Wheel about as long as I should on completing my order last year for a set of S/C wheels. Guess I'll have to go ahead with them since Team III is apparently having problems.

Dan

CSX4350 05-25-2010 07:35 PM

I talked to Team 3 today and he's put the Sunbursts on hold for lack of interest...says it will cost him $40,000 to do the molds and he can't sell enough to pay for that. He will custom machine a billet set for $2,000 per wheel.

Franklin, I edited my post because I didn't realize at first this thread was 7 pages long and what I said had already been said to some extent. Maybe not in the minute detail I went into but the gist was there.
I'd have to go through my files and see what pictures I have.

Tony Ripepi 05-26-2010 11:23 AM

Hi Guys,

Disappointing news, I will reach out to the TEAM III guys and try to stop by again to talk to them. There are pics of a rendering that Scott posted on the fifth page of this thread and several pics of Cobras with the Sunburst wheels throughout the thread.

Sunburst Knock Off Wheels
 
Tony,

I am a poser with Sunbursts on a street style ERA. As a matter of fact its in your profile picture along side CSX 3252. Anyway, I live less than 10 miles from you in Danville. If you would like to take a look before you make any tough decisions I could meet you. I have had this car for over five years and its been awesome but I can help you avoid some potential pitfalls.

If you want you can email me at mgilber3@its.jnj.com to set up a day/time. Maybe we could meet for a beer in downtown Danville.

Gilby
