anyone have a lead on finding the old 4 bolt 3 spoke wheels used on 79 pacecars, early fox cobras, glh's & gt350's? I know they are ugly but they cant all be scrapped, can they?
Yeah, look at the rim size on the tire: 390mm. That's 15.3 inches. Every now and then a set of TRX wheels and tires(sometimes original) go for a fairly high auction price.
while the TRX wheels were a decent looking factory wheel, the fact that they are an odd ball size, and required a specific tire, makes them unacceptable for use in this day in age.
yeah Coker tire is now making repro TRX rubber for them too. these are the only way to go if you're restornig a 79 cobra or indy pace car or even up to an 84 GT but if you plan on driving the car i wouldn't use them, IMO these wheels are for show cars only. then again, you could always use a set of these JUST for show and have another set for driving on.
i have a very nice leather wrapped 3 spoke sport wheel from a 79 pace car if you're interested. $200 and it's yours.
