Back in the day , the go-to wire wheel for those with deep pockets was the Borrani. You saw them on Ferarris, Maseratis etc in the days when the wire wheel was the normal option.
There were lighter than the comparable AC Cobra 6 " wire , due to the fact that they used alloy rims as opposed to steel. This made them very hard to weld and more prone to damage. I picked up a set for my +4 racer in VERY second hand condition, but sold them on before using them as the cost of the few spokes I needed was more than and complete Cobra wheel from MWS.
They were eye-waveringly expensive, even then, today I guess it would almost £1000/wheel.
Now of course alloy wheels are the norm for serious competition cars.
