3 wheels

[captdigi]

3 wheels of unknown manufacturer. I got these wheels with a car I had purchased, then sold. They are 5.5” wide , with 2 different lug patterns (3 3/4”, and 4 1/4”). The center hole id 2 5/8”, and the backspacing is 2 1/4”. $500.00 + shipping. (OBO)
I’m told they were possibly originally for a PRS???

Do you know if these wheels are mag or aluminum?

I believe that they are magnesium.

I had a set for my Zink Z-10. I had them inspected and refurbished. They are very light. I took Steve Lathrop's advice about them:

From Steve:
The wheels appear to be Sterling mags. Look n the back of the wheel to see if they say "Made in England". If they are, they should be carefully inspected for cracks and have NDT performed if you decide to use them. If they say "Made in Argentina" they should not be used due to casting integrity..

Ok

Ok

There was a FF at Pacific Raceways two weeks ago running a set. I asked the owner about them. He said they came with his car and they were much lighter than the Revolutions that also came with the car. They were English made and in good shape. They are a good wheel if they are not corroded, bent or cracked.

Been a while since I have seen any, so perhaps I am remembering incorrectly, but they may be Minilites. Anyone else know?

My dad went through a similar exercise years ago authenticating a set of magnesium Minilites. If I recall correctly, Minilites have the logo stamped on the back side of the wheel. Looks like Roman numerals in the image below.
