When SA was having a little trouble getting Halibrand wheels Peter Brock designed the Sunburst wheels and they were produced by Kelsey Hayes but only in 7.5”widths which made the rear look empty with the narrower wheels. That’s when the narrow hips rolled out but the bean counters stopped the building as too expensive to have another body style.
Traction was impaired with the narrower tires but the result was esthetic ally very pleasing and a far more balanced look. If one is after a street roadster,this is the ultimate and very desirable.
