New Drag Wheels

[juiced]

Decided to sell the pro magnym 2.0's and have custom wheel center sections machined out of forged blanks. here are a few designs i've been working one what do you guys think? The wheels will be a 3 piece design with welded shells and bolted on blanks. The are forged, heat treated blanks, after the machining they will be shot peened before assembly. This is for my 93 Black TA drag car. Bandit CMS Rounder

..... the 'Bandit' looks-like the optional-aluminum wheels offered on '76-'79 T/A, often called 'Snow-Flake' wheels, while the 'Rounder' is similar to what some current Funny Cars (John Force's Mustang? ) runs.

I Modeled the bandit after the snowflake wheels, i've never seen them on a drag car so i figured it might be kinda cool, a tribute to 2nd gen f-body's.



Your thinking of the Weld Pro Magnum 2.0's, They have way to many holes for my taste.

Naw..... I belive in the past, Force ran these front-wheels that were Gold-plated, and looked similar to your 'Rounder'-wheels:



'arc' all 3-sides of the small triangles between the main-hoops, and you're even-closer!

I'll be dammed.....

Good thing they won't be mass produced. i'm going to pick one design and have one set made....

Why have 5 hole in front and 8 in the rear????? that just doesn't match

I'm guessing that transmitting 7500 HP safely, from the axle through the wheels to the massive slicks is more-important than the wheels 'matching' each-other.



Having said-that, seeing that you've invested effort in making something-original, and because you'd be putting these wheels on a 'Chicken-Hawk', I'd go for the Bandit/Snow-Flake knock-offs:
NOBODY will mistake them for anybody-else's wheels!

Awesome Wheels, If you ever want to get a SFI Certification and start marketing them, Hit me up at SFI (pm me for the number) and I will let you know how to get them started in the program, Test Samples and requirments, Then every Sanctioning bodies will be allowed to run them and market them to racers.

My vote is for rounder - Slots between triangles on CMS look difficult to clean!!
