I have some experience with mini's. A 1200 cc car weighs about 50 to 100
lbs. more than an F500. Generally 700 lbs. + driver. They typically reach
speeds slightly over 100 MPH. They run on dirt often deeply rutted. The
shock loads have to be much greater than normally seen in a F500.

Chris and others,
I checked with Weld Racing today and they told me they have
nothing for our applications, some were close.
2 interesting things though, a 10 by 4 outer shell was $54 bucks
without beadlock. American aluminum must cost a lot less
than that Canadian stuff, surprising they can even afford to put
their beer in cans anymore! Anyway, Weld also has what they call a direct
mount
wheel in 10 x 8 for about $85. I could be tempted to get one
and cut a center for it out of a piece of 2024 that I have. Would
be a pretty quick project with the rotary table on the mill.
Anybody have a clue as to the loads a mini sprinter puts on
wheels compared to a F500?
