Vintage BR Series Wheels

[Martin Schwirzke]

-- SOLD --

Selling the Vintage BR Series one-piece cast aluminum wheels previously installed on my Factory Five roadster by the builder (replaced them with replica Halibrand wheels). The finish is a mid-gray powder coated center with machined rims.

The striking BR Series wheel was inspired by the 1960s Le Mans sports racing GT cars -- see attached photo of wheels mounted on a GT40 below.

These particular wheels were specially ordered when purchased in 2008 by the builder (extra wide 11.5” rear wheels), and were mounted on the roadster for a total of 12 years and have approximately 1,500 miles on them.

I've included a photo of the wheels, adapters, and spinners after they were removed from the roadster (close-up of each wheel available upon request).

Wheel specifications:

• Wheel diameter x width > 17” x 9” (front) and 17” x 11.5” (rear)
• Bolt pattern x circle > 5 x 4 5/8”
• Backspace > 4 7/16”
• Adapter thickness > 3/8” (10 hole adapters)
• Wheel weight > 23 lb. (front) and 25.5 lb. (rear)

Note: The wheel studs may need to be modified for proper fitment of wheels.

The wheels are in excellent condition with no dents, cracks, or curbing. There are minor scratches & scuffs where the aluminum safety wires were attached to the spinners and wheels, as well as normal wear & tear consistent with the wheels being mounted on the car for over 12 years.

Asking $2,500 or best offer for the complete set of wheels, adapters, and spinners (cost new is $3,995). The wheels are located in Monterey, CA.
