Can anybody help me to locate a period 6 1/2"L x 15" (42mm hub) 70 spoke deep well wire wheel from a 1966/9 AC 289 (MK3) Cobra, see photo of stamping below.
   May have been used on other cars including 428 Frua.
   Photo shows U.S. manufacture but the UK may have been another source.
   Any condition considered.
   Please see thumbnail attached of click the link below for larger image
   Thanks

   Per the register it is 1965/9 and MkII (if it's any MK at all).
   
   Neither AC or any other authoritative body applied the term 'MkIII' to coil spring Cobras in period, or 'MkII' to leaf spring Cobras.

That's understood, however there are some individuals relate to this car as a MkIII
   Just covering all aspects of the request
   The important issue here is the stamping detail in the photo

I might Just have one! came off Chevy engine d healey but I think it might be 72 spoke not 70, it is definitely a Yank wire wheel and 6" 1/2 very ropy will dig it out.
