Wire Wheels 101 - Hot Wires: Part I
Motor Wheels, like Ford wheels, feature a single-cross spoke pattern; however, they're not welded. Instead, Motor Wheel (and Kelsey Hayes) butted the hub ends of the spokes, needled them through dimpled holes in the hub, and fastened them to the rim by either forming their ends into rivets or threading them to take adjusters. Both companies also reduced the diameter of the rim center, thereby narrowing the hub-to-rim gap. Though the design isn't unique to Motor Wheel, those gaps are. It's 1 1/4 inches for a 16-inch wheel and 2 1/2 inches for a 17-inch wheel, but unfortunately we didn't have an 18 to measure. View Related Article
