The aluminum wheel with the steel insert is nice for real light car 12#, but expensive, It's a lot cheaper to turn down a stock wheel to about 20# and have it balanced. If you use a real light wheel in a heavy car it's hard to take off up hill, you have to rev the engine. Remember a Model A engine has a 65# flywheel and 40HP, if the engine dies you can ride home on the flywheel. Walt
