This is a general comment and I don't know all the facts but I think there are a lot of people who "want" them but don't want to shell out the cash for them. This is pure economics. There is no demand so there is no supply. Mickmate is the guy to contact on this one as I think he has the scoop.

Many years ago I was lucky enough to find a set of original Sunbursts and love the look of them on my car.

Sunburst style aftermarket wheel, for 5 lug hubs (not for pin drive spinners):

I think they're a great looking wheel, and for that price I could probably live with the lug nuts. Perfect for a replica.
And with a little imaginative engineering, the lug nuts could probably be covered. Cheers Greg |
Late to the party, but interested in this thread. The Rocket Racing wheels say they need splined hubs, so no lugs to worry about. These might be a fallback if I can't get 6-pin sunbursts for my street 427 build.

You may need to go back and read their website a little closer. What they are saying is that the lug nuts use a spline drive socket to secure them - instead of a standard hex socket like most lug nuts use. I assume that is due to the close clearances required by the many spokes. They do not use splined hubs.
However, they have been posted about here before and they are a decent looking replica-style wheel. |

Thanks for straightening me out! |
Nice looking wheels, would like to have a set, but not enough backspace for my application...plus, I'd be more inclined to buy them in a 17" for better tire choice.

Tony Branda has a used set of 15" Sunburst wheels for sale.

I called Tony D. Branda. The original used sunbursts sold for $8k just a couple days ago. It was a set of 5. They had been in storage for 18 years.

I wouldn't call that cheap for 5. Not at all.
And weren't ALL Sunbursts in storage for 18 years? :LOL: |

Cheap I say! They've got to be close to becoming unobtainium. |
If you have an original then not bad price.......
If you have a replica, might be out of market............. |

I live in the land of Google and Facebook, where their employees buy $2,000,000-$3,000,000 (or more) homes in order to scrap or mow them down and then build their mansions. **) |
My opinion on price was strictly based on what these wheels exchange for, not necessarily if they go on a real vs replica, or fancy wheels people are putting on their wive's grocery getter Porches and Ferrari hatchbacks. :p

Not to revive an ancient post, but do you know more about the car in this photo? It looks like an original narrow-hipped Cobra, c.1965. Thanks, AC |
I believe that is actually a 1967 car with round tail lights that is beautifully restored. I used to have a link to an extensive photo gallery of the car following restoration but the link was broke a couple years ago.
Edit - Here it is. I found another link to a second set of pictures. http://canepa.com/photo-gallery/1967...cobra-4275075/ |

Thanks! I've come across that car before, but didn't know if it was the same one. Beautiful! AC |
