...that picture was in an ad on eBay for a Lone Star kit, as an example of the finished product...( taxing the memory on this!)

The car does look like a LS427, with the 'jag' in the roll-bar rear brace.

Why not give them a call?

Hey Frank,

You already figured it out. They are Boyd Coddington Smoothie's (he can't use the name BOYD'S since he sold that a few years ago). They are a cast wheel as opposed to machined billet. The spokes don't have a twist, but do have a pronounced "arch" longitudinally.

Those are Boys Codington Wheels Smoothies to be exact. That Cobra was Sold on Cobra Country. I spoke to the owner Mr. Schmidt. He sold the veicle for $48,000 and it was a LoneStar Replica Kit.
I just order some Smoothies for my Cobra 17X8 in the Front and 17X10 in the Back. With a 4.1/2" offset in the front and a 5" offset in the back. I'm just currently looking for tires.

I currently have American Racing Wheel on mine that I will be selling soon.

Here's how they look..
