A few of the descriptions are wrong.
For example the wheels labeled as "Formula Vee " wheels are actually Saab Sonett.

Hmm... never knew that Mahle produced a four lug variant of the Gas Burner.

The wheel part done/started 10 years ago and that's where quite a few of his (or her) pictures originate from ;)

Lost the interest of updating it, would be nice to find a place to upload the stuff before they end in "byte heaven".

You can't let it go...I refer to it regularly

I'm sure EB would add it as a sub-section on TS if asked

:-[Good work on your site Tero, enjoyed looking at it very much. Thanks for your hard work! I had never seen it or the other so both are new to me. I'm still an old newbie!
One wheel I don't see in either link are the ones I put on the 61SNRF back in '75 or '76. They were from a company called "Chariot" wheel. They were on Valley Blvd in La Puente, Ca. I don't recall how I found out about them, whether they advertised in HVW's or not.
I remember buying them right out the back door of the factory/warehouse. They were a spun aluminum two piece wheel that bolted together. They used simple gold anodized hex head bolts and nuts. I think they were 5" wide if I remember correctly. They also made the spun center caps that covered the wide five drums and hubs.
I wanted them to look more like Centerlines, so I replaced all the hex head bolts with SS button head allens. I took them out and replaced them one at a time so it wouldn't upset the seal between the halves. I'm sorry now I don't have a good close up, but you can roughly see them here...
