Wheel brand

McInturff Racing · 6/8/11, 11:26 AM

Hoping maybe the community can help me out again here and ID the brand of wheels I have on my mini for me. I am fairly certain that they are Sander wheels based on the fact that my front spindles are both Sander's but I am not sure due to the coat of black spray paint that the previous owners put on the wheels. The only identifying mark on them is a rectangular sticker approximately 3/4 inch by 1 1/2 inch just to the right of the valve stem. I tried cleaning the paint off and was left with the silver base of the sticker and no lettering.

I'm really wanting to think those are weld wheels. If you look on my old TQ picture at the front wheels they look pretty similar.

Im Pretty sure they are Dura light wheels. I have sever of them. Good, strong wheels but are heavy. If interested I would sell them. Im trying to swithch all mine to keizer wheels.
If interested just PM me.
Thanks,

The beadlock wheel is a Weld wheel. They are the only brand I have seen with the beadlock slotted like it is. The center also looks like an older style weld center which was very similar to the dura-lite center of the time. If you strip the tire are there any markings on the inside of the wheels?

Not a thing on the insides unfortunately. Very heavy wheels though so I may switch up rather than trying to find additional halves for them.

If you're looking for halves, they look to me like 10in, weld wheels. Count the bolts that hold the center to the halves, and buy some halves, shouldn't be a big deal to find, let me know what you need, I may have some. Bob

Sorry, I can't see! A Sander, 13in wheel, has 15 bolts, and a Duralite has 18, and possibly a Weld also, but it looks like a Duralite, and I still may be able to help you, I have a couple of 18 bolt halves. Bob
