Wheels and Spinners.

[Inertia]

Hi All,
I tried a search but became more confused.

I need to confirm what wheels I have on my superformance mark III and find out where to get a new spinner as I broke one yesterday.

Any tips on identifying what I have?
Thanks
Steve

Do your wheels have castings marks inside with WAW and made in SA? That's what my SPF GT40 has. I believe most SPF have these wheels. They're marketed by Vintage Wheels at least in the U.S. Previous post of Hillbank source is probably same cost as Vintage.

Look here to ID your wheels: SPF Turn Signal Adjustment

Get FORGED aluminum, not the crap cast stock ones.

Thanks for all the replies. I think they are WAW but will throw a tape measure over them to confirm.
I had a closer look at the broken spinner and it looks like it was repaired at some time previously but regardless I will replace it I reckon.

Get stainless spinners.
Much much stronger

Ditto Jeff's response. Stainless is the way to go.

Your chassis number would probably determine which wheels you have. And If they are WAW, there are 2 versions.

Thanks guys, I have a Australian spec mark III roadster which is circa 1970 in the normal superformance numbering system. This would indicate that they are WAW.
However, just to make confusing things more confusing is that the car came with three sets of wheels and tyres (tires).

To complicate a little more is that the original Willwoods were replaced by AP Racing so the measurements may or may not be a little different.

Anyway, to those few who are still awake the following is what I have taken directly from the wheels.

Wheel 1:
15"
Front: Made in SA , 04 , DOT E , Cobra 1 , B , 1600M.W.L (on inside)
Rear: 04 , ET 40 , Cobra , MWL 1600 , 15 x 9.5 (on inside)

Wheel 2:
15"
Front:7.500 x 15 , Cobra II (on outside)
Made in USA , DOT T , Mold 1,2,3,4,5,6 , Cobra II , 7.500 x 15 , Wheel load max 1600 LB max (on inside)
Rear: 9.500 x 15 , Cobra 2 , 3008 , 501A-1 (on outside)
Cobra 2 , 9.500 x 15 , Made in USA , DOT T , Mold 1,2,3,4,5,6 , Cobra II , 9.500 x 15 , Wheel load max 1600 LB max (on inside)

Wheel 3:
18"
Front: American Racing , Shelby (on outside)
Mold IP , ARE,Inc , M , 18x , AR-427 , 50th Annv (on inside)
Rear: American Racing , Shelby (on outside)
Mold IP , ARE,Inc , M , 18x , AR-427 , 50th Annv (on inside)

And the stainless spinners sound great.

Thanks
Steve

I have not seen stainless. Do you have a source?

Bill,

Try Cobra Restorers or Cobra Racing Suspension they both have them available.
