Modern Magnesium Halibrand Wheel Quality

[razerwire]

I have set of newer mag wheels and do not find hard to keep up, I use 00 steel wool on machine surface to hold that look or some times let them turn gray which is a different look. You can bring back machine look with steel wool anytime you want. I used epoxy paint to seal rim where it has to hold air pressure because goodyear slicks would go flat in 3 or 4 days, found out air was going right thru sidewalls of slicks. I have bottle of nitrogen in garage for the shocks on my buckshot racing dune buggy because you want to make sure all shocks on buggy are the same so when you jump you take off and land even. since I already had I tried to fill goodyear tires with nitrogen to see if it would stop tires from going flat but it did not help. I took off slicks and put avons on rims and no more tires going flat. I put the slicks on a set of home made rims which are 1/2 the weight of hilibrand mags and will just use for track use. Used new casting of hilibrand center and jongbloed hats for light weight 3 piece wheel , can get 15" 16" 17" dia, spec depth for inner and outer to make diff offset and width. I have set on my Benett car 16" dia and 14" wide already. I like the looks of hilibrand mags with avons on my csx car the best. I like the rims to have the look of just starting to turn and I like the looks of the original hilibrand knockoffs, the original knockoffs have longer ears and and sharper angle than some of newer ones , when you look at older pictures you will see what I mean. I guess its personal choice. Videos of sand cars on buckshot racing, my next favorite hobby.
