We've also got some very special things in store - after all this is the 15th Anniversary Show. If all goes to plan, we'll also be having a world premier at the show of something which is reallygo to impress anyone into California Look. I am sure it's going to be the biggest news of the year! And having seen this item all I can say is it'll have you reaching for your credit card! Would you mind explaining now that the show is over? Especially the credit card?  |

Ivan got the chance from Nao to present the new Flat4 BRM wheel the wheel matches the original very close and that was also one of the big secrets of the show Nao presented the wheel on his new black car in Japan (Jamboree show) and Ivan in the UK Kobus and CSP were also involved in the deal if interested in, just let me know ( gh@csp-shop.de) we are shipping out of Japan in April, first sets for some cars debuting at EBI3 ... I will try to list pics later Gunter |

Sorry I haven't logged on since the weekend - I had a day off to recover.
Yes, it's 100% true - Flat 4 has re-invented the wheel, well, the Flat 4 BRM wheel.
VolksWorld was first to announce the original Flat 4 BRM wheel way back in 1991, and so Flat 4 was happy for us to announce the new wheel to the world at the VolksWorld Show.
It created a huge amount of interest!
The wheel arrived on Friday afternoon - so it really was a last minute deal. I had to go and pick it up from Customs and then couldn't resist opening the box and taking a good detailed look at it.
This is as close as you'll get to the original - the offset is perfect - so it's instantly better than the old Flat 4 wheel, but then you've got the valve seat, the spokes, the casting marks - and loads of other little details.
These wheels will be in demand - the first batch is sure to sell out quickly.

*EDIT* Was looking at the wrong bit I can't believe how close it looks to the original!!
Ivan do you know whether the whole Flat4 range has been remoulded? The SSP site (Pre order) seems to insinuating that!

PS. Great show  |

What is the backspacing on this wheel and the depth of the polished lip compared to the early FLAT FOURS? Does anyone have the dimensions (if they are different)? Also, was there any discussion about going to the original inserts that slipped into the wheels and the lug nuts actually shouldered on? I've seen some owners of the first FLAT FOURS machine the lug nut area flat, use washers and a shouldered type of aftermarket lug nut (like the WELD WHEELS use) that slides inside the wheel and the nut tightens down on the stud. Just curious.

A very reputable source has told me that the reason inserts like the original has not been used is that it would then be considered a two-piece wheel, and then it's a different ballgame with approval of the authorities etc.

Hi Rick, the wheels are the same dimensions as a Speedwell BRM. The 'early' Flat 4 wheels were not. You could machine the wheels to accept BRM inserts if you wanted to. |

Looks like the wheels are shiny black.. Is this only for the demo model, maybe the pics make it look that way? Or will it be like that on the final ones? Sorry i don't want to sound like an ass but the original BRM don't look shiny black to me..  |

I don't think aluminum will ever dull down to look quite the same as 30 odd year old magnesium  |

The paint was glossy, Roland.
They´ll make a very nice wheel if you sandblast them, polish them and paint them flat black IHMO.
Making some inserts and having the wheel machined for them looks like a fairly easy job, any opinions guys?

Hi Rick, the wheels are the same dimensions as a Speedwell BRM. The 'early' Flat 4 wheels were not. You could machine the wheels to accept BRM inserts if you wanted to. So the new wheels have more or less offset than the old FF wheels? By how much? |

Roland, you're right on cue. I agree with you about the gloss black. Those new ones are even glossier than my older F.F. wheels. I'd rather paint 'em flat black.
