Here is the answer Mike gave me when I asked that very question:

The wheels are steel rims and centers.

Mike that is SWEET!!  ;D Look forward to hearing all the details. I'm curious about the exhaust and headers and how they sound. Perfect timing for me too! Thanks for the pics. Like others I've been waiting for this and you sure did deliver a quality product as expected. Really nice job and I want one!!!

I have been researching the purchase of a Cobra replica kit for nearly two years now, and this is the first car I have seen that is EXACTLY the car I had envisioned.

Obviously, Mike, your vision of what a street Cobra should be is exactly the same as mine:
No stripes, no side pipes, under-car exhaust, no rollbar(s), glove box, bumpers.

Amazing.

Just to add something I've come across that sort of fits the street theme.... At www.carrollshelbywheels.com check out the CS66 wheels. They sort of resemble the old sunburst wheels but with modern bling. They are 18" rims and 8.5 and 9.5 width. I saw them in black on a new 07 GT350 conversion a Ford dealer here in Ga was doing. They looked good on the Stang but not certain how'd they look on the Cobra. Guess I'll find out as i'm pretty certain these are what i'll use in anthracite. Chrome was a little to shiney 8-) LOL The spinners are avialable too. I'm waiting for a quote from the local Ford dealer as they are also a Shelby distributor. I'm torn between these and the Vintage knockoffs. I do liike the sunburst style but not sure about the 18" rim size and how it will look. Has anyone used 8.5" rims in the front and know they will fit ok?? Thanks...

Wow, that is a good looking wheel and your right, it does resemble the Sunburst wheel a little.

Hey I was thinking - ought ohh!!! If the center is fiberglass that is basically cosmetic, like a wheel cover, couldn't a different center be made to better replicate the sunburst wheel? It would be a good amount of work to make a mold but the look of the sunburst would be great for the street car. Maybe one of the custom wheel shops could turn out a sunburst center on a CNC machine and a mold could be made from that. Hmmm...........just kind of thinking out loud, but would something like that be possible?

Mike:

Any recollection on what size wheels/tires were on the Street car you photographed?
