WHAT I AM SELLING HERE ARE (2) 16"X 7" TRUE VINTAGE ORIGINAL MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND "SOLID" WHEELS FROM THE 1950's!

 

I GOT THESE WHEELS FROM AN OLD INDY-CAR AND SPRINT-CAR RACER!

 

THEY BOTH LOOK TO BE IN VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION!


WHEEL #3 LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEVER BEEN RACED COMPETITIVELY, AND OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF HOLES TO MOUNT BALANCING WEIGHTS, IT LOOKS ALMOST  PERFECT!

WHEEL #4 IS VERY NICE ALSO, ALTHOUGH IT DOES SHOW SOME SPOTS AROUND THE OUTER PERIMETER ON THE FRONT AND BACK SIDE OF IT WHERE IT MIGHT HAVE CONTACTED ANOTHER CAR DURING COMPETITION!  BUT WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR WHEEL, IS THE INFORMATION THAT'S STAMPED INTO THE BACK SIDE OF IT!  FIRST, THERE'S A "U.S.A.C." INSPECTION NUMBER "0032053" STAMPED INTO IT...WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS SANCTIONED FOR USE IN ALL 1953 "U.S.A.C." EVENTS...INCLUDING THE "INDY-500"!  AND NEXT, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THESE STAMPINGS..."5Z4"!  THESE MARKINGS INDICATE THAT THE WHEEL WAS RE-INSPECTED, AND THEN "ZYGLO" TESTED, SO THAT IT COULD BE USED IN ALL 1954 "U.S.A.C." EVENTS...INCLUDING THE "INDY-500"!  MAN, IF THIS WHEEL COULD TALK!

 

HISTORY OR NOT, THESE ARE STILL A NICE AND RARE PAIR OF WAY COOL VINTAGE MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND "SOLID" WHEELS, AND WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANYTHING THAT THEY ARE PUT ON!

 

LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THE "SOLID" WHEELS FROM THAT ERA, THESE WHEELS HAVE A 6-PIN KNOCK-OFF, OR 6-LUG BOLT-ON PATTERN DRILLED INTO THEM!  HOWEVER, THEY CAN BE RE-DRILLED TO ANY DESIRED PIN OR BOLT-PATTERN, TO FIT YOUR APPLICATION!

Audi R18 TDI dominates Le Mans 2011 test day

Tue, 26 Apr 2011

Le Mans echoed to the sound of racing cars on Easter Sunday as teams took part in the sole scheduled test day, and Audi's new R18 coupe dominated the LMP1 class. Le Mans 2011: classes and rules changes The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the organisers of the annual 24-hour race, made several changes to the competition classes and technical specifications for Le Mans 2011, aimed at reducing costs, raising lap times and ending the dominance of turbodiesel endurance racers. Out went V10 and V12 engines in the LMP1 (Le Mans Prototype) class, and in came new capacity limits for all engines, intake restrictors and lower turbo boost limits on existing turbodiesels. Naturally aspirated petrols units are now limited to 3.4-litres, turbo'd petrols can be no bigger than 2.0, and turbodiesels are restricted to 3.7-litres.

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed moves dates for German Grand Prix

Sun, 16 Dec 2012

The Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2013 has been rescheduled to avoid clashing with the 2013 German Grand Prix. The Goodwood Festival of Speed – and the ultimate test drives that is the Moving Motor Show – is perhaps the best event of its kind in the world. And one of the keys to its success is the ongoing attendance at the FoS by Formula One teams and their personnel.

New Mercedes A Class: A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY Edition models launch

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Mercedes are launching two new eco versions of the new A Class – the A 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Edition and A 180 BlueEFFICIENCY Edition. Mercedes has had a play with the aerodynamics on the new A Class to lower the Cd value from an already very low 0.27 to 0.26 by partially covering the upper section of the radiator grill, adding aerodynamically shaped spring link coverings that improve the flow of air along the underbody at the rear axle and lowering the suspension by 15mm. Mercedes has also tweaked the generator management for more efficiency and had a play with the gearbox to make the ratios longer (which will help economy, but won’t do much for responsiveness).
