[DeTomaso] Wheels.

[Ken Green]

Goran,
 
    I guess I'd worry that even if I had good software (Solidworks?) to perform finite element analysis of solid bodies, I would struggle to define actual loads on the wheels in dynamic situations.  This seems like a specialty.  I was impressed by the representitive of Forged Alloys USA (http://www.forgedalloysusa.com/) at the SEAM show last year.  They might be worth talking to.

Expressed in a slightly sarcastic way, you should not have to reinvent the
wheel, but in my case it seems literally to be what is needed. Today,
there are a variety of wheels on the market, but it's just a lot of
different looks with the strength and weight and other key ingredients are
not emphasized in advertising. If all the pieces fall into place so I will
have the resources to develop my own wheels, which also (in the middle of
all the bad luck) is actually very interesting. I have negotiated with a
manufacturer of motorcycle wheels and brakes here in Sweden that
manufactured brakes for Nsacar cars in U.S., and they are willing to set
up and produce four sets wheels (16) according to my drawings. I will keep
the De Tomaso Forum informed of the plans progress.
