Hello. Can someone help me identify the set of wheels on the Corvette on the bottom half of this book cover ? Sorry for the small picture.

Believe they were Halibrand wheels originally. They are true knockoffs and IIRC, the are all 15" diameter wheels.

When Zora had all five of the Grand Sports built, I believe they all had the same wheel setup. Over the years, the wheels had probably been replaced a number of times given the number of races and the miles that put on them. Some of the cars ran a 5-lug wheel that was similar to the American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels.

Thanks for the info C4. I really want a set for my C3 but it looks like they are in the process of retooling the model I want. I can wait though.

Thanks again.

E-T wheels (remember them from the 60s-70s??) makes one that is very similar. I believe they have a website called "team ET", or something like that. I also thing Vintage Motorsports makes a similar wheel.
