just a note:
we can do anything in the way of wheels and many other things, just bring a suitcase full of $, because one-off, 2 or 4 wheel one piece cast projects cost . But if you neen 30" lets go. $$$$

Thanks Scott,

When will you have wheels that will slide onto the Trigo adaters, 10" rear 8" Front that will work on a Shelby CSX?

Thanks Scott,

Looks great....Are you still commited to making these wheels in the 7 1/2 inch width only or are there other options?

Very NICE!

I can hardly wait to see these on a Kirkham car. That would about do it for me if the price is right.

Will these be the same sizes and offsets as the Trigo's and Vintage rims are now so they look the same in the wheel wells?

Hi Scott,
Will these wheels be designed to fit the Team III adapters
first and foremost?.. and do you have drive pins to go with
those adapters available these days?

Would you have any commentary as to how your adapters
compare to the Trigo and Vintage in regards to interchangeability,
for all whom are concerned?

PM sent regarding wheels design suggestions.
Thank you for making these wheels a reality.

Mike.

Hi Franklin,

Scott will not have any of these wheels available until after the first of the year, none of them have been available to mount on a car and get pictures.

We are all waiting for them.

Just curious, did these rims ever come to fruition? I'd still like to find a set for my Kirkham. If possible I would like them to be the narrower width Rim in the front and the wider width rim for the rear same offset as the Trigo's that I currently have that came on the car. Love the gold rendered centers as well.

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.

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...

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.

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?

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.

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.
