They do a fantastic job of polishing/painting hotwires

Performance Hotwires were mentioned earlier, thought I'd put up

some pics. Bloke at Mr Mag called them a "Performance-wire"??

Not as popular as the other brands as they looked a little different &

think its got to do with the "wire" X's.

These 15 by 10 single dish hotwires were made by Aunger. Only a few sets were done and given to race teams to try. It seems it was a bit harder to change tyres on them so no more were made.
These ones were given to Tim Slako.

A set was also given to Ian Diffen which could be the set that was brought up on Welby's for sale thread.

It looks like they are a reverse fitment rim. Tyre comes on and off from the rear instead of the front. So says my mate who is a retired tyre fitter.

Hi Laurie - these are my rims I bought a few months ago.

Interesting to hear about them as they have no markings or i.d. on them that I can see. Is it possible to confirm any more information about them?

Cheers

I only know what I said above. If I ever catch up with Tim I'll ask if he knows any more. The Slako rims have no marks either.

I have 15x91/2 & 15x10's, both pair with 5" backspace.. The 91/2 rims have stamps on outside next to air valves & the 10's have stamping on the backside spoke casting..Can anyone shed some light as to what they mean? I'm guessing it's something to do with manufacturing ID date & circuit use aplication..

No Rexy, was someone else.. Looking at making the 91/2 fit the front & clear everything with 285 40 15 Yoko's.. Will need HQ stubs / a9x set up for starters & milling 1/2" off the mounting boss etc..
