Is this an ex manor f1 racing wheel?
Discussion
Hi there i was looking for some help from the forum experts. I recently purchased an oz racing wheel on ebay from a seller stating that it is an ex manor f1 magensium rear wheel. It certainly has a manor "16" sticker on it. Attached are some pictures. Hoping to turn it into a table in the mancave. I picked it up for what i think is a great price (£100) cheers.
I think Manor used App Tech wheels.

Yeah, I thought GP2 also. The centre hole looks too small to be an F1 wheel to me - F1 hubs tend to be much bigger. I couldn't remember which wheels they used in the last couple of years, but I remember they were on BBS in the first few years.Have a look at some of the pictures here http://www.gordonbrothers.co.uk/insights/case-stud...
GP2 wheels are the same size as F1, if it's any consolation, so no one need ever know.
With apologies to Save Ferris, who I meant to quote instead...

Wheel is 14 in diameter and 13 in wide if that helps. Its magnesium and has a 13 date stamp and manor 16 on it if that helps!
The tyre bead is less than the diameter. That's a 13" wheel.I made the same mistake a while ago - same logic applies to road wheels. A 16" wheel is about 17" diameter on the tape measure.
That's not a 2016 Manor F1 wheel. The valvestem is in the wrong place. Compare:

Compare with GP2. That looks like a GP2 wheel. https://www.motorsport.com/fia-f2/news/gp2-won-t-f...
