Where can I find these wheels?
For whatever reason, Edelbrock stopped making their "454" wheels:
They are similar (same as?) the "Eleanor" wheel:
The American Racing "Salt Flat" wheels is a close runner-up, but I have my heart set on the aforementioned wheel.
Anyone?

Is it me, or does the wheel/tire combo look too small in diameter. It looks like the car needs to have the wheel wells cut out with bigger wheels and tires installed.

They are basically a reproduction of the Halibrand wheel commonly found on Cobra's (thats AC...not Mustang) also on Grand Sport Corvettes. Go to Team III wheels...they make one of the nicest replica Halibrand wheels and arent that expensive.

The Eleanor's that Unique Performance builds have 17s on them, and they look much better. Thats the Trivia for this thread.
