New Magnesium Wheels
1 Attachment(s)
I'm hoping this information would be of interest to the Cobra community.
We are able to offer cast magnesium wheels and bespoke components for racing and collector cars. These are brand new components, and manufactured in Italy to current quality levels. Please feel free to let us know what we can do to help you. New wheels are almost ready for the Shelby Cobra 6.5” /8.5” x15” as the original, plus special size 7.5”x15”. Customers can choose both the finish and the offset! |
Schwwiiiiiing!

Magnesium wheels made in Italy?!?!?!?
As if $6k wasn't enough for an American repop. |
Some contact information might be helpful!
|
First question.
Only the FIA wheels or will there be Sunbursts and Halibrand type wheels offered as well? Second question. How about ALOT more information on your company, including but not limited to, website, customer referrals, ordering time, warranty, etc.? |
Marvic in Italy makes vintage magnesium wheels. Could be them (?).

Tough to know if I'm interested, if there's no information, especially if they'll clear Wilwood brakes and what the heck the price might be. :rolleyes: |
Yes they are Marvic wheels.
Vintage Cars | Marvic While I do not have final pricing, the motorcycle wheels start at about 1000 per wheel. Luckily the Dollar is strong now, so that may work in our favor. They are designed to be faithful reproductions of the stock wheels. I will be getting a drawing of the wheels, for those interested in the dimensions. |
The wheels are indeed made by marvic
You can see more about the company here. Marvic | Marvic Wheels I am working to answer the rest of the questions posted Thanks for the interest. |

Just the wheel shown at this moment. Additional styles could be accommodated based on demand. If you are interested in me, you can Google Yoyodyne. We have been supplying motorcycle racing components for about 20 years. |

I would be interested in these as well....
Might be worth advertising $ as that may separate the men from the boys. In the past $5000-$6000 a set has changed interest levels in a tremendous way. My interest is there but not at >$5000 |

I am thinking the cobra wheels are going to be a little bit more. |
Fran Kress was attempting to reproduce the Halibrand-style mag wheels not too long ago for $6,000/set of 4. Not sure, if he ever got this enterprise off the ground or not.

Fran was producing the FIA wheels in magnesium.
On another note, I wonder if these wheels will incorporate all of the detail of the original wheels? IMO the price of the wheel should be based on the effort gone into how accurately it is being reproduced, more detail should equal more money. A Trigo cast in magnesium should be marginally higher in price than the alloy version, the difference in the material itself. For some reason the people that have done reproductions of the wheels in magnesium think that they can charge huge money just because the wheel is re-popped in magnesium. |
That's what I need - a set of lightweight wheels that will burn. I think I'll pass.
