Thanks Emcon5, I'm just getting the hang of posting pics. Yesterday I couldn't post one at all!

Haven't had a chance to look through any of my old books, but I seem to remember the name "Cosmic" from the 70's ???? Doug

What's the winner get, A Tyson tune up?

[Jeremy Cottrell]

A Tyson, 8500 RPM down the street to blow the carbon out tune up! LOL

[Bob's Flat-Six]

Good one

[Adam]

Aren't Kelly Chargers old cheapo Australian tyres?

Must be a Mahle wheel of some kind.

There was a car at Rennsport and the Wing House with those. I recall somebody saying they were Cosmics. Car also had a vintage EMPI style muffler.

[Jeremy Cottrell]

Curt, I got the picture from Waynes Rennsport pix. Was that the car, or is there yet another set of these running around. They are certainly unique for a street car, I like em. They kind of remind me of a 914 Pedrini.

[Bob Goding]

Cosmic,or maybe Dunlop?

[Por_sha911]

Right, Front?

[cegerer]

Must be the same car. The wheels were unique but the wheel geek with me (Cornpanzer) said it was sort of a low-level aftermarket wheel back in the 70/80's. Cool looking car though. -- Curt

Cosmic sort of rings a bell, but I don't think that's the one (in the photo) I remember from the late sixties. Cosmics (I think) were a popular option for either the 2002's or the 850 Spider. Most likely the former.
