Not Ranked
the early SPF's, like my #156, had a five bolt wheel as standard which was cleverly disguised to look like a knock off with a fiberglass 'disc' covering the five bolt wheel center which was formed like the trigo spoke pattern. the disc was held on by a spinner on a threaded spindel. the 'bolts' do NOT show as they do in many other wheels as they are hidden BEHIND the disc. look at the thumbnail pic he has and blow it up and you will see how realistic it is. my wheels are the same. Trigo true knock off's back then were about a $2400 option as I recall. in fact, last time i checked, you can now get a credit from spf if you delete the true knock off's and go with these simulated wheels. in reality, not very many 'simulated' knock off's exist on early cars as almost all went for the optional real deal wheel upgrade or have since exchanged them for the real deal . and , i am sure today, that very few go for the real deal delete choice. i fool many a cobraphile who do not realize my wheels are not true knock off's, including many spf owners. they usually catch on when they caution me to wire tie my spinners and i say 'dont need to'. you can email me offline and i can send you pictures of the wheels with and without the disc.
now , his other comments...yep, don't know what they refer to !!!
but gotta tell ya, my car was built in 1996 and stands as tall and proud today as the new ones do...the lastinq quality of these cars is superb . sure, running upgrades have been made to the cars as they evolved over time, but almost all of those changes can be done to the early cars. i just turn the key and go and marvel at how well the car has withstood time since it was built and remains new looking.
