I COLLECT ALL VINTAGE HALIBRAND AND AMERICAN RACING WHEELS! I AM CONSTANTLY BUYING AND TRADING FOR WHEELS TO UPGRADE MY COLLECTION...AND THEN SELLING OFF THE ONES THAT I CAN'T USE. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT RARE OR OBSCURE WHEEL...PLEASE BOOKMARK ME AS A "FAVORITE SELLER"...OR KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MY AUCTIONS!
(2) VINTAGE ORIGINAL MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND INDY-500 "SPEEDWAY" WHEELS...VERY RARE "INDY / CHAMP CAR" STYLE...15"X 14"
CONDITION: VERY NICE...USED...SOLD AS-IS!
SIZE: 15"x 14.00" BACKSPACES: (#5)...5 7/8" (#6)...6 7/8"
PIN-PATTERN: 6 on 5.0" (FITS: EARLY MODEL "INDY CARS"...AND EARLY AND LATE MODEL "SPRINT OR CHAMP CARS"...AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT USES A 6 ON 5.0" KNOCK-OFF PIN PATTERN)
WHAT I AM SELLING HERE IS A HARD TO FIND PAIR OF "6-SPOKE" MAGNESIUM INDY-500 SPEEDWAY WHEELS...IN THE VERY RARE 15"x 14" SIZE!
THIS STYLE OF WHEEL FIRST STARTED SHOWING UP ON THE "INDY" CARS IN THE LATE 1960's...AND THEY WERE SUBSEQUENTLY USED ON THE "SPRINT" & "CHAMP" CARS ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE LATE 1970's! THEY WERE USED QUITE PREVALENTLY DURING THE "TIRE WARS" OF THE 1960's & 1970's, WHEN FIRESTONE AND GOODYEAR WERE BOTH BATTLING IT OUT FOR DOMINANCE OF THE INDY CAR RACING TIRE MARKET!
THE CENTER DESIGN FOR THIS WHEEL WAS EVEN USED LATER ON BY "SPEEDWAY" TO MAKE THEIR FAMOUS "2-PIECE" MAGNESIUM AND STEEL RACING WHEELS!
THIS PAIR IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE, BECAUSE THEY MEASURES 15"X 14"...WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE WIDEST THEY WERE EVER MADE IN! FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, IT APPEARS THAT THESE WHEELS WERE USED IN "U.S.A.C." SANCTIONED RACING EVENTS BEGINNING IN 1969, AS THEY BOTH STILL HAVE THEIR "U.S.A.C." INSPECTION SERIAL NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THEM! WHEEL #6 SHOWS THE SERIAL NUMBER "69641", WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS INSPECTED AND SANCTIONED FOR USE IN "U.S.A.C" RACING EVENTS IN 1969...AND WHEEL #5 SHOWS THE SERIAL NUMBER "70516", WHICH MEANS THAT IT WAS INSPECTED AND SANCTIONED FOR USE IN "U.S.A.C." RACING EVENTS IN 1970! IN ADDITION, WHEEL #6 HAS WRITTEN ON THE INSIDE OF IT A SHIPPING ADDRESS THAT SAYS, "GOODYEAR RACING DIV" "PHOENIX, ARIZ"! PERHAPS THIS IS ONE OF THE WHEELS THAT GOODYEAR WAS USING TO DO SOME TIRE TESTING AT THE "PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY" IN 1969?
WHAT'S ALSO KIND OF NICE ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR WHEELS, IS THAT THEY WERE PROBABLY ONLY USED ON AN "INDY" CAR...AS NEITHER OF THEM SHOW ANY SIGNS OF EVER HAVING BEEN IN A WRECK! IT WAS VERY COMMON FOR THESE WHEELS TO END UP IN THE HANDS OF "SPRINT" CAR RACERS ONCE THEY BECAME OBSOLETE FOR "INDY" USE...AND IF THEY WERE EVER USED FOR A "SPRINT" CAR OR "CHAMP" CAR RACE, THEY WILL ALMOST ALWAYS SHOW SOME SIGNS OF DAMAGE FROM HAVING COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR, OR TRACK WALL!
THAT'S ABOUT ALL I KNOW ABOUT THESE WHEELS, SO WHAT YOU SEE...IS WHAT YOU GET!
PLEASE LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER, AND THEN CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS...OR NEED TO SEE MORE PIX!
I HAVE ANOTHER (60) HALIBRAND MAGNESIUM WHEELS...APPROXIMATELY (200) AMERICAN RACING WHEELS IN BOTH MAGNESIUM AND ALUMINUM...(80) SLOT-MAGS IN VARYING SIZES AND BOLT-PATTERNS...AND A LOT OF EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN IT COMES TO WHEELS. I'M GONNA SELL 'EM ALL...SO BOOKMARK ME AS A FAVORITE SELLER...OR KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MY AUCTIONS. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE. BID FAIR, AND BID FAST...AS I DO END AUCTIONS EARLY!

New BMW M video tease. Is this the BMW X6 M50d?
Fri, 02 Dec 2011Is this a tease for the BMW X6 M50d? BMW has released a teaser video for a new M model X6, which we’re assuming is the X6 with the new three stage turbo diesel – perhaps the BMW X6 M50d? We’ve recently had confirmation that BMW are going to create a diesel version of the M5 – the M550d – and we expected BMW to use the same engine to create diesel M versions for the X5 and X6.
Toyota will push safety in ad blitz
Mon, 06 Sep 2010Its image still bruised by driver complaints about unintended acceleration, Toyota Division has decided to revamp its marketing message and shift the focus to safety in a big way, top executives said last week. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A.'s sales fell 34 percent in August and are down 1 percent for the year--it's the only major manufacturer with a decline for 2010. Executives admit consumers have doubts about the safety and quality of Toyota vehicles, so they are planning an advertising blitz to counter that perception.
BMW brings Art Car Exhibition to life
Tue, 12 Jul 2011Since 1975 BMW has had a strong connection with renowned artists from around the world. The famous Art Car series has, to date, seen 17 cars transformed from generic racers into unique, moving canvases. For the first time, an extensive virtual tour documenting the history of the cars and their creators has been produced. Each car has an extensive back catalogue of images and a short film, which serve to show the variety of the ‘works of art on wheels'.
