The car on there called "Alien" has wheels that have fans in the center. Has any company/racer tried this for brake cooling? Would make an interesting set of wheels with a real function.

I once saw a Race 914 @HPH with fan blade wheels with a circle in the middle that said Porsche twice going around the circle. It was a red race car. The wheels must have been somewhere between 10-14 inches wide. I remember seeing them once before(not on a 914).

You mean wheel fans like these? I haave them on my 911 as well, they really pull alot of air through the wheel. The fans combined with some ducting, and I never have heat related fade.

Oh yea............ those rendering are cool, I have new wallpaper on my pc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Which way does the fan pull the air? From the body, thru the wheel and outside or from the outside, thru the wheel, and under the body? I'm hoping the former...

Pulls the air out from the wheel well.

I have cooling ducts aimed at the eye of my rotors, and the fans. The air enters the inside of the wheel, the fan pulls the air out.

did that make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif)

I have them on my 7&9 fuchs, They could be used with other wheels (fans were really popular with BBS) A threaded insert goes where the center cap would go, Then a big plastic centerlock typ bolt goes in and holds the fan on.

Ill take some pics tomorrow
