speed related aluminum wheel designs

i would have done a pair of each design for the trailer.. cannot tell the turning traction when you have one of each..

but.. just for entertainment ... its only a few minutes..

back in 78/79. my autoshop teacher had some aluminum front wheels made for his i believe C streamliner..  he had them up to 305 when he was blown away by don vesco.. who blew a tire in the same class and went thru the clocks at 320 on its side with a single 4 barrel small block. where he had a twin turbo BBC..  frontal area does count..

Interesting video Wayne. Thanks.  It's cool that they could test where no other vehicle had gone before.

Wayne,
          Thanks for posting this video.  It takes a lot to make a wheel right .

It looks like with the miss matched wheels they would get the wrong lateral movement info.

just ran across this.... in case you run across a blue version on a back street some night..  you will know what you might be up against..

Starting my plan for Bonneville 2015. Maybe we need a new sticky thread.
