How can you improve on the Cobra Slot Mag?
You know they've started making slot mags again?
You know they now do them in 17s? LOL. I want some!

They only come in US 5 stud fittings and offsets currently, but I've seen two companies (in the USA) making them now. 15x7, 15x8, 17x8, 17x9 and I think there may be a 16" size for old school slicks on gassers etc.
One maker is American Racing (who own the Ansen brand) and I forget who the other is, might be Wheel Vintiques or someone similar. I saw them advertised in one of my American magazines, I'll check for ya.
Image Wheels also will make you slot mags to order, but they are like £1500 a set or something mad. Any size, offset, stuf pattern though.

Always preferred the shape of the Cobra slots to Wolferace. Can anyone do me one that looks like those old Fireball yoyos? Kinda looked a bit like the wheels on the A Team van I think ? |

Did Locoster mention a single spoked wheel?  This came out better than I was expecting! |

Yeah, the Cobra had a better dish to it than the Wolfrace ones, more agressive looking. Going OT here... Team III do a nice "Five Window" gasser wheel which when polished up looks like a more detailed slot mag. Cragar Cruisers and Weld's Rodlite also look slot-maggy.

Anyone tried Swift 3D? It's dirt cheap and cracking.
Hey 104ZS, that single spoke looks good, have you tried the 3d rendering tools in Illustrator?

Did Locoster mention a single spoked wheel? This came out better than I was expecting! If this was designed and made properly by a propper full on engineer legend, i don't see why it would be inferior to a propper multi spoke wheel, anythings possible, right? Then it would be time to build some retro 90's future concept buggy thing.  Great thread BTW some good designs, might have a crack at one old fashioned style later....  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

A bit predictable I know (and Penski wont like them) Modelled these up ages ago, just after I bought my Minilites for the Celica. Thinner than Minilites, they turned out more like TVR spiders. Modelled on SolidEdge V19. Femap Express analysis plugin.   |
