I've got a set of original sunburst wheels I've been trying to fit on my Kirkham Street Car. They are quite different than the Trigos. I'm trying various shimming but so far no matter what I do they rub on the calipers and/or the steering linkage.
If you look a various CSX 3xxx cars there seems to have been different offsets to the sunbursts.
When I was at the Boulder museum they had a street car with rear Sunbursts that completely filled the rear wells very much like the Halibrands, but in looking at various pics and the green Canapa car, for example, the rears are the same as the fronts and end up looking a little "puny" in the rear wheel wells. Maybe one reason that a lot of people swapped them out back in the day.
If someone can make some repros with the same offsets and clearances as the Trigos I'm in.
Maybe the Kirkhams can warm up the CNC machine and whack out a couple sets.
