Default How to identify

I've been following the thread, adding input when appropriate. Thought I was OK but now I wonder.

The wheels I have are alleged to be Trigos. I spoke to Vintage and determined they aren't theirs. The wheels are cast with "Cobra2" on the spoke, the adapters appear to be stud centric, not hub centric. The adapters are a black oxide, not plated. Everything points towards being Trigo but . . .

The pins and adapters both are machined to a 60 degree taper, not the 76-79 that David found. I am estimating the wheels to be around 5 yrs old. I bought them used so I can't verify their source or production date.

Can anyone help me identify the brand? David, if, in fact, they are Trigo's should we be concerned about different tapers on the same brand? I can attest to the 60 degrees.

? ? ?
