Real unusual things from trailer washers, motorized wheels, to tank track Rolls Royces

Never seen one before, and something about the age of a black and white photo tells me that these are obsolete

I have no idea at all what this is


Ok, but why take it out if you have to add skis?


Really early car phone


Odd stuff on this tow truck


Yup... 1890's and I have no idea what it is


Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost


I've never seen a photo of a tractor involved in a car crash


Again, no idea what the motorbike in front is


Never seen a train engine like this... must be for moving train cars around in a train yard


For packing dirt roads?

Love the motor wheels... I'd so love to ride one! This one was investigated by Hemmings Blog and you can read more about it: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/11/22/m-goventosas-one-wheel-to-obscurity/ it went 93mph... I doubt that anyone did that more than once given the conditions of roads in Italy in 1931 to 1933, that's when the above photo was taken, 1931




Puegeot in 1934, great designed car, looks like the top is coming down

Repairing Damaged And Abused Wheels

Repairing Damaged and Abused Wheels
By Jared Lebrow

It's happened to all of us at one time or another. Maybe you weren't paying attention, but the next thing you know you brushed up against the curb and ruined the powder coating or polished lip, or even bent the rim on a pothole. Custom wheels aren't cheap to just be buying anytime they get a small ding or nick, so why not contact some of the wheel repair experts in your local area to repair the powder coating or possibly remove the bends from the lip. Maybe you haven't actually damaged the wheel, but finding somebody powder coating wheels can completely change the style of your car for the better. All it takes is a little color and some creative ideas to give your vehicle an entirely new look, for a fraction of what new custom rims would cost.

Practically any damage to a wheel can be fixed. Dings can be pushed back out and trued, the powder coating can be stripped clean and reapplied, or gouge marks from a curb can be repaired and re powder coated or painted. To begin repairing the powder coating on your rims or just the structure of the wheel in general will be to look in the local phone book. Many companies, like Wheel Refinishers http://www.wheelrefinisher.com are available to handle any repairs you may have in your area.

With various tools available to them, these companies can use a specially formulated metal filler (similar to bondo but for alloys) to repair gouges and scratches. They will then re-balance the wheel to make sure it is true and round, and then re-spray the powder coat finish or solvent based coating. Many also offer polishing services as well too, so that those boring, dull factory rims can have new life breathed into them.

As stated before, even if you haven't damaged the rim, many of these companies offer custom powder coating services. With all the repairs they're doing, you can rest assured they are very experienced in powder coating and will give you professional and unique results easily and timely. With prices ranging from $40-$100 for powder coating wheels, it is easy to see the savings compared to $800+ for a new set of wheels. And also, since you had custom powder coating done compared to an off-the-shelf standard rim, you will always stand out in a crowd since you have the opportunity to be unique.
