>>>Notice that these, too, consist of centers originally designed for 15-inch wheels, mated to hoops to accept 17-inch tires. Besides the fact that they always looked a little weird, I always wondered about how that kluge would work from a structural basis? I haven't a shred of knowledge to be able to guess just by looking.<BR>

It's worth mentioning that when Hall was selling these wheels, he did so in a very earnest and sincere manner--that is, he didn't deliberately go out and produce wheels that would fail (sometimes catastrophically) a few years down the road. He went in good faith to a wheel maker, who produced wheels to his design. It is that wheelmaker (unknown?) who let the team down; Hall was just stuck in between him and angry customers a few years later. Not a pleasant position to be in, to be sure!<BR>
