Bonanza wheel??

[redairrdstr]

From what I can gather this looks like it is a Bonanza MX 1500 wheel. Is there anyway I can confirm this. I was going to post in the for sale section, but did not want to misrepresent it. Any help is appreciated, Jeremy

it's a spinner, and I do believe Bonanzas *(don't know what model(s)) used them as well

Cool, thanks for the link. I thought it looked too new to be vintage wheel, so I bet it is one of these.

Thanks, Jeremy

well now hold on a second, take a look here before you dismiss it as "not vintage" In particular the MX's

BONANZA MODELS ID & BROCHURES

someone should come along and give you the correct info about it though. Maybe how to identify it as a newer reproduction or the real deal:shrug:

I haven't completely dismissed it, the mx 1500 is what got me thinking it was a Bonanza, but its either newer or never been used...One reason It may not be a new wheel is that it doesn't have any bearings and the new ones come with them? Hopefully someone will chime in with a way to tell new from old

If it has Bonanza cast on the inside of the lip where the tire mounts, it's vintage.

If it has a part number cast in the inside of the center section it a new spinner. The P/N's are 8020 and 8021

well in that case, your second picture says 8021 on the inner lip area:thumbsup:

I just looked closer too. That's a new Azusa spinner.....

Thats it...It has those part numbers in the center section. I knew someone would know, and that was quick... Thanks for the help guys:thumbsup:

Azusa. the bonanza bolts up different. You can spot one easily.

like George said, The real bonanza rim with have recessed bolts on both sides, and the azusa wheel bolts are flush with the outside of the rim.

As well as one half having threaded holes for the bolts......
