Pair 21" Rudge Whitworth Wire Wheels,early Rolls Or Other Exotic Or Classic Car on 2040-parts.com
Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States
I picked these up without any history so all I can do is describe what I see and leave it to any potential buyer to decide if they are what he or she wants. The worst one looks like it laid nose down in the dirt for some time and is very rusty including that end of the front spokes. It looks like part of that nose unscrews which would remove a lot of the bad stuff. The face of the wheel center is probably not hurt that bad and should be usable. The rim area has some pitting in one area but is mostly pretty good,doesn't look like it had an old tire that held moisture on it. The other one is a pretty good one,some mild pitting but no real damage. It has some globs of what looks like melted plastic here and there so it must have been in an area that got hot at some point. Please look the pictures and description over carefully and make sure these are the ones you want before you bid. After 40+ years in the hobby,I've seen hundreds of wire wheels that were rusted through in the rim area,any that are not are always potentially good and most,if not all, were red hot when they were formed. The only other issue might be the temper of the metal. These will be sent Fedex Ground. Shipping amount includes recycled box,packing,shipping to lower 48 and insurance,no other fees or costs.

Toyota Auris Touring Sports: Paris 2012
Thu, 27 Sep 2012Toyota has revealed the first estate version of the Auris – the 2013 Toyota Auris Touring Sports – at the Paris Motor Show. It’s a sensible move by Toyota to add an estate version to a car that competes in a segment where 25 per cent of all cars sold are estates, and the Auris Estate looks a decent offering. The Auris Touring Sports sits on the same 2600mm wheelbase as the Auris hatch, but it gets and extra 285mm longer thanks to the new shed on the back, a shed that offers what looks like a decent carrying capacity )although Toyota aren’t actually telling us how much ‘stuff’ the Auris estate can carry).
Nissan Driver Assist – be Michael Schumacher
Sun, 26 Jul 2009Nissan have developed 'Driver Assist' to make crashes a things of the past Driver Assist uses GPS to track the car’s progress, and set it up in advance on twists and turns in the road. The system uses integral sensors to check how the driver is setting the car up for the corner and adjusts the settings if the driver is not getting it right. It can correct over or under steer by applying braking to any of the wheels individually and even adjust the torque to make sure the car goes where the driver intends.
