(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Mike, If my memory serves me correctly, didn't you post another picture a while back of another cracked Fuch? (not this one). That's a brutal picture! Hopefully it didn't separate while you were driving. |

Not mine......from another poster on another board. My red painted ones were sold to Mark's customer when I went with full polish wheels......
Just posted it to show that racing on 30-40 year old Fuchs is NOT as safe as everyone claims.......check yer equipment. |

If those were kiln dried for the red paint, it could have added a lot of metal fatigue to the wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
