Actually, there are some slight differences between the Cobra SC/Halibrand
style and the GT40/Halibrand style, with the Cobra type wheel lending
itself more to doing a 4 lug version and being the style that I now know has
found a home on at least two Tigers in the U.S. The kidney bean/Halibrand
wheel, made popular by the Doane Spencer car, is typically a 5 hole, but the
first ones that PSE did, I believe, were 4 hole and can be seen on the
website. Since then, I know (thanks to owner Jere Teepen) that there is one
set
of 5 hole, classic "kidney beans" out there...
What I'm trying to get is a detailed shot of the front, 15X6" Cobra SC
wheel by PSE, just to see how the center/rim relationship looks to my eye,
prior to asking PSE to build me a set.
Thanks
Mike

do you mean the halibrand style that the GT40 used? I have seen those on a
matlic type red tiiger and the HSC style kidney beans on another. The
tiger with kidney beans is on the PS website.. the other GT40 style was on the
cover of the CAT mag about 3 months back for the auotcross.

I know that there is a car in SoCal that is running the SC Cobra/Halibrand
style wheel...looking for pics, please, or information.
I'm considering having Phil make me a set, but am really curious to see the
wheels on a Tiger, particularly the fronts, with detail of the center to
rim halve area (the raised portion of the center in relation to the valve
stem surface).
Thanks!
