WHAT I AM SELLING HERE IS A ULTRA-RARE PAIR OF VINTAGE ORIGINAL 15"x 12" "SPECIAL OFFSET" MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND "SPRINT" STYLE WHEELS!


THE 15'X 12" SIZE IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THE VINTAGE MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND "SPRINT" STYLE WHEELS, AS IT WAS A SIZE THAT WAS ONLY USED FOR A FEW YEARS, AND MADE TOWARDS THE END OF HALIBRAND'S PRODUCTION HISTORY!  WHEN YOU COUPLE THAT WITH THE FACT THAT THESE ARE A PAIR OF THE EVEN RARER "SPECIAL OFFSET" HALIBRAND "SPRINT" STYLE RACING WHEELS, THEN YOU REALLY HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S BOTH DISTINCTIVE AND IMPRESSING!

IN THE HISTORY OF HALIBRAND, THEY ONLY MADE (2) SIZES OF THEIR POPULAR "SPRINT" STYLE WHEELS IN BOTH A "STANDARD OFFSET" AND A "SPECIAL OFFSET"...AND THIS IS A PAIR OF ONE OF THEM!  WHEREAS THE "STANDARD OFFSET" HALIBRAND "SPRINT" STYLE WHEELS USED A 3 5/8" BACKSPACE...THE "SPECIAL OFFSET" HALIBRAND "SPRINT" STYLE WHEELS WERE MADE WITH A DEEPER 5.0" BACKSPACE!  THIS WAS DONE DO GET THE WHEELS TO FIT CLOSER TO THE CAR BODY...THEREBY ALLOWING THE FENDER FLARES TO BE NARROWER!

THEY WERE ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR THE EARLY "FUNNYCAR" RACERS, AND "L-88" CORVETTE ROAD COURSE CARS, IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET AS MUCH TIRE AS POSSIBLE UNDER THE FENDERS, WHILE STILL COMPLYING WITH THE CLASS RULES REGARDING TIRE SIZE AND PLACEMENT!  IN THE 30 PLUS YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING HALIBRAND WHEELS, THIS IS THE ONLY PAIR OF MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND 15"X 12" "SPECIAL OFFSET" "SPRINT" STYLE WHEELS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!

 

ALSO, WHAT'S REALLY COOL AND UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PAIR OF WHEELS, IS THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN POLISHED OR GROUND ON!  IN FACT, THE CASTINGS ARE SO CLEAN AND CRISP, THAT THEY BOTH STILL CLEARLY SHOW THEIR ORIGINAL "CAST-IN" HALIBRAND SIZE AND OFFSET SPECIFICATIONS, AS WELL AS THEIR ORIGINAL "SAND-CAST" TEXTURES!


STRUCTURALLY THEY LOOK TO BE IN GREAT ORIGINAL CONDITION, WITH NO SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE WEAR OR ABUSE!  THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THEM, IS THAT THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN DRILLED FOR TIRE RETAINING SCREWS!  THIS WILL NOT EFFECT THE USE OF THESE WHEELS IN ANY WAY, AND YOU CAN HAVE THE HOLES FILLED IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK!


 

ALL IN ALL, A VERY NICE PAIR OF VINTAGE ORIGINAL MAGNESIUM HALIBRAND WHEELS...IN AN UNBELIEVABLY RARE SIZE, AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BACKSPACE...AND IN FANTASTIC SHAPE!

 

 

PLEASE LOOK THE PHOTOS OVER, AND THEN CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS...OR NEED TO SEE MORE PIX!

 

 

I HAVE ANOTHER APPROXIMATELY (60) HALIBRAND MAGNESIUM WHEELS...(200) AMERICAN RACING WHEELS IN BOTH  MAGNESIUM AND ALUMINUM...((80) SLOT-MAGS IN VARYING SIZES AND BOLT-PATTERNS...AND A LOT OF EVERYTHING ELSE WHEN IT COMES TO WHEELS.

New 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo & Turbo S revealed: UPDATED with Video

Fri, 03 May 2013

This time there’s no waiting for the Turbo S to follow the Turbo, with both models on offer straight out of the gate. The 911 Turbo gets the 3.8 litre flat six with 513bhp and the Turbo S gets an even more fulsome 552bhp, enough to get to 62mph in just 3.1 seconds and on to 198mph. And, with its four wheel drive, it’ll feel even quicker in the real world.
