When Fran is good and ready, a few details on his next run of the magnesium S/C wheels would be great.

Fran, will there be any markings on the wheels? I'm not sure about the first production run from Halibrand, but the later production runs of Halibrands had the wheel's size "15x7.5" or "15x9.5", the words "COBRA II" and the number "3007" or "3008" on the exterior side of the wheels. On the backside of the wheel, just the numbers "3007" or "3008" and wheel size again.
