Cadillac Double Pour

This is not a picture of a cored wheel in the traditional sense. You’re seeing an intact wheel surrounded by a second pour of urethane at a later date. I had never seen anything like this, but apparently it was a tactic used at some point in the 70’s used to sell old stock of smaller wheels that were no longer popular. In this case an open bearing Cadillac wheel was used as the core. Most of them look like these do now, many decades later. Mr Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center?

Heres’ a double poured wheel that’s still intact, this time using Hang Ten wheels. On the surface they appear to be newer wheels until you realize there is a seating for open bearings. An LED light was used to illuminate the inner wheel for the photos by Mark Manbars Baxley.
