WHAT I AM SELLING HERE IS A VERY NICE MATCHING PAIR OF VINTAGE ORIGINAL 16"X 13" MAGNESIUM AMERICAN RACING EQUIPMENT "BEAR PAW / ELEPHANT PAW" WHEELS!

I GOT THESE WHEELS FROM AN OLD HOT-RODDER WHO LIVES IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA!

WHAT THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME WHEN I PURCHASED THEM, WAS THAT HE GOT THEM FROM A GUY WHO HAD PLANS TO USE THEM ON AN OLD FUNNYCAR HE WAS BUILDING!  HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHEREAS ONE OF THEM LOOKS TO BE IN VERY NICE CONDITION...IT APPEARS THAT THE OTHER ONE HAS HAD SOME REPAIR WORK DONE ON AN APPROXIMATELY 8-INCH SECTION OF THE WHEEL'S LIP!

WELL, I BROUGHT THEM HOME, AND HAD THE INSIDE'S OF BOTH OF THEM GLASS-BEADED DOWN TO BARE METAL...SO THAT I COULD GET A GOOD ASSESSMENT OF ANY REPAIRS THAT HAD BEEN DONE TO EITHER OF THEM!  WELL, JUST AS THE GENTLEMAN SAID, ONE OF THEM LOOKS TO BE IN VERY NICE CONDITION...BUT THE OTHER ONE INDEED HAS HAD SOME REPAIR WORK DONE TO IT!  IT LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD REPAIR JOB, BUT I'M GOING TO SELL IT AS A "DISPLAY" WHEEL, AND LET YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT!  I'VE INCLUDED SOME CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGED AREA, SO YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF THE ORIGINAL DAMAGE...AND THE SUBSEQUENT REPAIR!

OTHER THAN THE REPAIRED DAMAGE, THESE WHEELS LOOK TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION!  ALL OF THE LUG-NUT HOLES LOOK TO BE CLEAN AND CRISP...AND THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE PITTING ON EITHER OF THEM, WHICH IS QUITE COMMON WITH MAGNESIUM WHEELS OF THIS ERA!

SO ALL IN ALL, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THIS IS A VERY NICE PAIR OF SOME OF THE LAST MAGNESIUM DRAG-RACE WHEELS THAT WERE EVER MADE BY "AMERICAN RACING EQUIPMENT"...IN THE LARGEST SIZE THEY WERE EVER MADE IN (16"x 13")...AND DRILLED WITH THE TWO MOST POPULAR BOLT-PATTERNS OF THE DAY (5.0" & 5.50")!

PLEASE LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER, AND THEN CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS...OR NEED TO SEE MORE PIX!
