    Delta brand Dragway rims

    Is there much of a difference between Delta brand 5 spoke Dragway type rims and original Dragways? I know that delta centres are welded in whereas the Dragways are bolted. Are the spokes the same size? Is the centre hole the same diameter? I have a set of three delta wheels but it seems easier to find a Dragway than a fourth delta. Chasing a 14 x 7 hq - wb pattern if anyone knows where I can find one....thanks

    First one looks similar but the seller won't freight it... Can rim damage be repaired?

    Aaaaah No! you can't weld aluminium to steel! I had a mixture of the delta copies and genuine dragways on a ute I sold recently, and there is no difference in the construction. The only difference I could pick was that dragway was cast into the centre on the genuine article.

    The Delta/CSA/Cheviot/Mullins 5 Spoke had a steel ring cast into the Alloy centre and was welded to a chrome outer rim.
    Basically they look the same as the Dragway but are lesser quality. Dragway have the name and Res Deg number clearly visible.
