Original Shelby Cobra Sunburst Rims with original period correct Goodyear tires

1965-66

The original Sunburst wheels were designed by Peter Brock, and manufactured by Kelsey Hayes in cast aluminum.

These are original rims and tires that were take-offs from an original Cobra in the 60s. They were in storage in Germany for many years unused, before I found them for sale. I purchased this set directly from Jonas Brenner, a very well known and reputable seller of race cars and parts. You can see his eBay store @GTparts with 100% positive feedback, or by clicking the following link: https://www.ebay.ca/str/gtparts

The rims are in very good condition, unlike many of these original rims which sometimes leak air. 

They have no cracks anywhere and show only very minor rash for their age which I have tried to show in the photos. 

These rims represent very fine examples of this very low production wheel that was designed by Peter Brock and cast by Kelsey Hayes. Very special period correct wheels that would be the ultimate piece to complete an early Cobra restoration. 

The history that is available to us says that this rim was produced by Kelsey Hayes to help offset the slow production of the Halibrand rims being used for the stepped up production of the narrow and mid body 289 cu.in. Cobras.

There are no stamps or markings on the rims as to manufacturer or date (which is correct for this wheel).

They are designed to fit a (6) pin assembly for 2000 series and 3000 series Cobras.

They will fit on a replica Cobras as well, but the hub assemblies will have to be (6) pin assembly not (5) pin.

Thank you for viewing my rims and tires, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
