Ever see a 2-spoke wheel?
 
Saw a black Dodge Magnum R/T wagon today with black wheels and one continuous chrome spoke.

Tires were Nitto 255/30R24

Wanted to take a picture with my cellphone but would not be able to upload it.



This is the wheel. Available in 22" x 9" and 24" x 9 "

Also in all chrome. Wonder how it looks in motion? A balancing nightmare?

I remember that Dayle at Motorsport Warehouse had some 2 spokes fitted to an SVX many years ago...Dayle care to post the old photos that you used to have on your web site?.

I think the name of the wheel says it all. :barf:

There are other versions of 2 spoke wheels. Pretty common around here actually sadly:barf:

there was an italian (or Swiss) designer in the 80s / 90s that developed the original hubless wheel, used on both motorbikes & cars, his name is Franco Sbarro.

as for hubless this was a good representation

It's just not natural, like a single spoke steering wheel on a Citroen. The eye likes to see the forces distributed evenly.

He makes a good slice of pie, too.

It is good to be an Italian Engineer that can cook.
