Looking for Cobra wheels

[MonoPed]

I'm tryng to find an alternate set of wheels for the ex-Monogram 427 Cobra kit. Don't get me wrong, I'm diggin' the twelve spoke Halibrands that come in the kit, but I have two on the shelf, and two more in the pile. One is going to be a full street car with no hood scoop and rear exit exhaust, the other is going to be a ficticious "weekend warrior" S/C that is going to sit on a racecar trailer behind an F-350 dually. I'd like to set these two apart, and some different wheels is a start. I'd like to find wheels that could have been used on a 427 Cobra back in the day. Any ideas? Thanx!

Mini Lites found as optional wheels in many MPC kits would be a good choice. Lots of guys used them for racing back in the day.

The most current kit to have them is the AMT 1973 Mustang kit.

I know it probably seems obvious, but there is a Cobra tooling around locally with Cragars and a Chromalusion-like paint and it's probably the most visually appealing one I've ever seen.

Replicas & Miniatures has some sweet Shelby 5-spokes that would be kind of appropriate, though not at all "stock" for a Cobra.

The photo is from Scale Dreams, but they currently show out of stock. (Scale Dreams http://www.scaledreams.com/index.htm is a danged great source for all the nifty aftermarket goodies I like) Norm @ replicas & Miniatures can certainly fill an order if you contact him directly.

If these really float your boat, let me know, as I think I have a set I would gladly donate to the cause.

Norm also has some absolutely delicious MiniLites...

Dan,

Thanx for the offer, but those looks like they would be more at home on a GT-350R project. Here's some pics of some alternate Cobra wheels. The first one looks like the optional wheels in the AMT 1:16 Cobra kit, the others look like Cobra Daytona wheels. Are either of these wheels out there in 1:24 scale?

Well, alrighty then. I misunderstood where ya were headed with the build. Cobra coupe wheels may be available in resin...I'll have to research a bit. Harold Bradford's name keeps popping to mind...I'll get back to you.

Speaking of that kit, I'd love to find a larger diameter set (maybe 19") of those Halibrands..
