Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased this Wolber 24" wheel off of ebay for a bargain price, however I'm unsure of what to make of it at the moment. The wheel has no braking surface and weighs 545 grams.
At the moment I think it might possible be a Wolber profile 18 24" because of the weight and colour (the colour leads me to believe it might be titanium, however the people I've asked whether it is or not can only speculate and can't say whether it is definitely aluminium or titanium).
In addition to this, the profile of the rim is incredibly thin and is also tapered, like a modern aero wheel. I have also put up a photo comparing the width of another 24" wheel to this wolber one, and the difference is 5mm. The width of this wheel is 1.4/1.5cm and the width of the wheel used to copare is 2cm.
I really want to find out more about this wheel so if any of you can identify what it is by following the link for the images below, it would be very much appreciated.
