The original Halibrand Sunburst pin-drive wheel made its' debut on the AC Cobra in the early 1960's. The AC Cobra was one of the most important performance cars of the 20th century. While the Sunburst classic turbine style wheels were only in production a very short while, even today they are frequently discussed and highly sought after, fetching thousands of dollars for a single set. Not only are these wheels, a really rare find, they are absolutely stunning! The first thing you notice is that the long, free flowing spokes begin at the center hub and reach all the way to the outer rim lip. The spoke length gives you the visual impression that the rim diameter is larger than a 15" diameter. The hub area is perfectly framed with what appears to be the fairing of a jet engine of an airplane and spokes that look like fins of a turbine.

Rocket Racing Wheels successfully re-engineered the Sunburst wheel to provide the safety and security of a 5 lug bolt-on application without sacrificing the classic appearance of a pin-drive knockoff. The Rocket Sunburst features dual drilled, 5x4 1/2 and 5x4 3/4 bolt patterns into each wheel. The recessed lug holes with utilization of their special black anodized spline-drive lugs, successfully creates the appearance of pin-drive style wheel in a modern 1-piece A356 aluminum casting.

  • A356 cast aluminum wheel construction featuring Hypershot finish and machined rib and outer lip
