In the second picture it, the fronts look like the last version of the many 6.50 wide six spoke wheels designs (they were just race wheels to SA, somebody coined the term "FIA wheels" years later to cover all the many versions of 6.50, 7.50, and 8.50 wide wheels six spoke wheels) SA used on race Cobras and the rear appears to be the last six spoke design in 8.50 wide design for the 427 Cobra. The six spoke wheel offsets of the 8.50 wheel for a Cobra and the 8.50 wheel for a 427 Cobra are much different. I mounted a 8.50 six spoke 427 Cobra wheel in place one day and was surprised how far out the extra offset to the outside it had.
