That the speedline wheels where also numbered to reflect the phase of the car?Supposed to be beside the tyre valve.
Dont have my car beside me to see if its true.

I too don't have my car beside me. In fact, I rarely do when I'm on my computer.

However I did pop down stairs to the garage and have a look, and can confirm that there is indeed a circled '2' next to the valve. And my car is a Phase 2, Williams 2 :o

There you go.How many of us knew that?
and indeed that will assist people who are buying a williams on how to gauge the true authtenticity of the car.If the wheels are wrong then the price can be negotiated.

Coops you go back to your garage lock the door and come back out when you have a willy :P :lol:

What I would really like to know now is that if you buy them new from Renault are they numbered?We know they aint painted entirely.
Reason I ask is that I know of someone on the forum who bought a set a while back(not mentioning names otherwise the :evil: will come out of the thejesus!

Rich
15-12-2005, 18:25
ffs why not all leave the guy alone? whatever has happened has happened! give it a rest or do it somewhere where he can defend himself if he so chooses!
tbh i get on with him as he has done no wrong to me, jesus i dont really know if i have met (may have at RWS) but afaik he's a decent guy too (when not talking about rob :lol: ) but ffs leave it out you big girlies and leave the handbags at home! even if its just for christmas! :P

fab

I think we are all more than happy with the cleanest set we can lay our hands on,but its an interesting fact nonetheless.

FATBOY
15-12-2005, 19:22
tis an odd one! but the history of my car is so concise! and it shows no change in wheels???

Lunner
15-12-2005, 19:23
Suppose if it was a 'cut an' shut'(think thats how its put) they woudln't have included it in the history ;)

I have number '4' in a circle on my williams 3 on two wheels, and a '1' and a '3' on the other two.

fab
16-12-2005, 10:27
I reckon it was renault fookin with our heads again!
Either way i dont care cause i'm takin my speedlines off.Too much hassle.

Mattie
16-12-2005, 12:13
maybe the 4s are the wheels they produce now?

fab
16-12-2005, 12:35
Thats why I was asking if anyone else bought them from renault recently to find out if they are numbered or not.
I have one new wheel on mine so am gonna check it tomorrow.

Three of my wheels have the number 2 on them.They are the original wheels.
The remaining wheel which I suspected was replaced or new has a 1 on it.Could have even be refurbed because the number with the circle is not as well defined as the original 3 wheels.

Pat Symonds_Williams3 do you know the history well enough of that wheel with the 4 on it?

Anyone fancy going over to F7Power and asking you know who what number is on that fresh set he bought from renault last year?

Chris H
17-12-2005, 18:07
he asked me about it yesterday, his are all 1's. He asked what I think it was.

i say its the moulds.

fab
17-12-2005, 18:16
Could be right Chris.
But at least when the lads are gettin refurbs they should be aware that they are getting their own wheels back.

i trust the bloke who owns the company that done mine, so im not gonna worry to much when there due there next refurb ....

fab
17-12-2005, 18:44
Fair play fatboy.
But say he has three or four sets to do at once.How do you think he would be able to tell which are yours?
You could end up getting back a buckled one and you wouldnt even know about it.
thats just me being a cynical bastard! :wink:

FATBOY
17-12-2005, 18:47
:wink: yeah true! but how many sets exist out there that are being refurb all at once???? now this is getting cynical lol!!!! but must admit the numbers next to the valve is definately a big talking point!!!!

Justin..
17-12-2005, 19:46
my williams wheels have a 1 in a circle on the inside of the rim on one of the spokes aswell as on the face by the valve

MatBrown
17-12-2005, 19:51
All wheels will have a manufacture year on the inside as well.



Mat,

Well i just been back out to check all 4 of mine...

These are definatly the wheels that came from the production line and there all 95 Prefix, and i got 2x "1" and 2x "2". Maybe they were just casting no.s, or perhaps we were all suppose to get a 1-4 set... :?

But as its taken us a good 10yrs to find out about it... maybe the lads at dijon didnt get the memo, lol :D

richy
17-12-2005, 20:00
they should be 1-4 on each car but the french couldnt count so just fitted randon wheels! :lol:

MatBrown
17-12-2005, 20:35
I'm with Bri and would say it's just from the casting moulds.
