Re: Anyone have every seen these rims before
These are spokes or wagon wheels as they were sometimes called. Most of them were painted white, but some were aluminum.

Re: Anyone have every seen these rims before
They're Jackman wheels. Don't throw them away. They're worth a bunch more money than you might think.

Not to mention buffing them to an almost mirror shine. I don't think this is a good way to gauge the worth of your wheels, unless you'd like to put in the amount of hours necessary to get them to this level... J.

Re: Anyone have every seen these rims before
that is where the term mags came from, because they were made of magnesium

I would be suspicious of a rim made of magnesium because my gramps said on the aircraft carrier they would push the burning wrecks overboard because the magnesium would catch and burn all the way through the deck. I wonder if that is true but if it is then wouldn't mag rims be kinda dangerous? I weld it from time to time and it seems fine...hmmmm Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Anyone have every seen these rims before
The original magnesium ones where an alloy with magnesium being the higher percentage.
Halibrand and a few others made them. Even aluminum can be dangerous in a fire. It explodes and spreads molten droplets everywhere. They likely pushed the burning wrecks off because of the ease of the fire speading due to the super heated metals exploding. BTW the original Halibrand's are worth a mint if you find some. |
