Default Re: Motor Wheel "Fly" Wheels

-------Motor Wheel had flys both with red plastic sandwich and without.My experience is that the front-runners (magnesium) had the plastic between the spokes and the rears (aluminum) did not. The rears had a floating spacer between the inner and outer spokes. Flys are,theoretically,reversible. Motor sort of got two wheels for the price of one that way when the back-spacing wasnt split equally.
------You are correct.They are the coolest wheels around...........Bill S

------Also back up the weight aspect.I think my front-runners with Goodyears weighed around 10 to 11 pounds!

------P.S.Forgot to mention that Motor Flys are considered drag race only wheels.Lateral stress is not recommended!Therfore,street use is frowned upon.This is especially true because all of them are around 30 years old and older.If they are rears take a long look at them,especially around the bolt holes,before you use them,even just on the strip!..........Bill S....again!
