I've done a search on the forums and cant find and threads that give me the right info, and also checked the SNZ website - i apologize if i haven't looked hard or far enough and this is a repeat posting/discussion. or if it is a little bit stupid... im just totally un informed. what better place to get info than macgors. Can someone please clarify exactly how or what the new wheel rules mean to a stockcar/superstock driver in some plain english for me, Thanks in advance. Are all of my current rims illegal that i ran last year? and is that the same for all stockcar/superstock drivers rims? As per ' www.speedway.co.nz/wheels ' - are they the "ONLY" rims that we are approved?  |

The way I understand it is that those are the only 'off the shelf' approved wheels. You can still build your own wheels with several options of wheel centres as per the rule book.

Other wheels were in the process of getting signoff from engineers etc when I departed from Speedway NZ, so I assume more wheels will be added to the list once that process is complete. However, its a worry when there are still people advertising "100% SNZ legal" wheels on Trade me when clearly they are not approved at this point in time...despite being advised nearly 6 months ago that they needed to reapply for the ongoing security of the sport. If in doubt, ask to see the proof from the supplier.

Totally confused , so my fully welded D windows which are made from centres and seperate barrels welded by a local engineer are not part of this rule because they aren't an "off the shelf" wheel as such? Or do the centres need to be approved. sNZ seems to be a bit vague in the details of this or maybe I'm just dumb and don't understNd? Or maybe reading/looking too much into it...

Have you seen the latest news letter from snz it kinda makes seen now. Current rims need to be checked and stamped by approved person at scrutineering and new rims or centres I guess need to come from supplyer stamped after they have had there rim signed off by snz or something along those lines anyway.

Yup woke up to my email this morning to read the paragraph below - thanks SNZ for clearing it up haha As written in the latest news letter: All commercially available wheels for speedway must be approved for use. We currently have two wheels that have been through this process and you can find details of these on our website www.speedway.co.nz/wheels. As more wheels go through the process they will be added to this list. The Manufacture/supplier of approved wheels will stamp each complete wheel or centre with an SNZ approval stamp. This makes the approved wheel clearly identifiable. Existing wheels will need to be checked by a technical steward who will, upon confirmation of compliance, stamp your wheel with an SNZ approved stamp. Compliant wheels will continue to be stamped by track vehicle checkers to confirm the age and condition of the wheels Wheels you currently own without the approved SNZ stamp will require inspection at your track to confirm the specification meets the requirements. Once confirmed, a Technical Steward will apply an SNZ stamp to your wheel. |

So by my understanding pretty much same as past seasons, where if wheels dont have speedway nz stamp they need to be checked and stamped by scrutineer?? In other words same old same old, its really only new wheels that have to be certified as such? Am i on the right path??

The Rims you have now will need to be checked by a Tech Steward and if they are by the said rules will be stamped with the Tech Stewart's stamp. They then will be stamp with the date stamp Eg: T9. So as I understand it there should be two sets of stamps on your wheels/ rims. |

T14-1-2 (B) The designs above are available to download from wwspeedway.co.nz. Cant seem to find them, any help please.
As my 4 rims I just made 2 months ago plus my old ones look like they are going in the bin and to get them approved will cost $2000, what a joke, because they have 8 holes like the dt corsa (as bove). But cut out of a sheet of 8mil they have to have 5 10 or 15 holes.

"Stockcar" Rims are slightly different in the centre thickness and stamping AFAIK (can be used anywhere on the car apart from RR), the "Superstock" has to be used on the RR but can be used anywhere else - stamped slightly differently and is thicker centers.

... unless like me you have 6 pin centres and hubs.
Regardless if previously certified, approved, present condition, they are scrap material.
