Hello to all that reads my post...i found this wheel years ago and i just need help finding out history of this particular wheel..
It is dated 1996 and it is a rear gold O.Z. race alloy from Jordan, it also has a code 217 etched on the wheel too...the code is etched on the yellow ring next to valve reads 96.217, which i'm guessing is the date and maybe some other code which may, be some code connected to a certain race...thankyou for reading hopefully someone can help me in some way shape or form.

Hello mate, maybe it might be worth contacting Force India, they might the records left over from the Jordan days.

A racing car that does not win, is just art

Could be Martin Brundles from the Aussie GP, the car in 2 pieces maybe the steering wheel was lost there as well? :wink:

Hello cheers for the views and posts....i am in the process of contacting force india...so its a waiting game now cheers for the info....
Regards to the Australia crash i have watched it a few times now and it may well be a rear wheel from Martin brundles car as one did go flying off...when i got the wheel 12 yrs ago it had the original tyre on it too, but i took that off to take the wheel home dammit..it has a little bit of damage on the lip if the wheel..as if it had hit something at speed..as i was a tyre fitter for 10 yrs, i can knowingly say that the damage was done while wheel was extremely hot as if it was from cold it would have fractured the magnesium wheel...with the size of the tyre on the wheel it seems almost impossible the even damage it in any way...
I accuired the wheel from my old tyre company i worked for in 1998 and its been sitting in my room as a formula 1 momento...and everyone who sees it has to touch it lol...just the thought of 1000bhp driving the wheel is incredible...I have only seen this wheel used in 1996 as they used the gold benson and hedges car...i come from England Bud....why u need to know that you want to buy it lol....cheers all!!!
