Albino Racing

An example of a simple dish design done well, and it's all in the details.

The Albino Racing (also commonly called Albino Racing Saucer) is a sought after wheel that is becoming increasingly rare. Debuting in 1984, colours were white with orange recalling or silver with nice two-tone black and red lettering reading Albino Racing in large letters centred on fine print that reads:

"This wheel invites you to the atmosphere of racing competition. Our life is just race. Start your engine. Aero Saucer ALBINO RACING supports braking system of the optimum temperature to secure maximum capacity."

The centre caps were especially unique, using a lightweight plastic MESH with fine holes drilled in them, and a text that reads, "The Fast Run-Running For Albino Racing - Weds Design Div."

The "Euro Advanced Three-Piece Wheel." Debuting in 1983, the Wed's Albino line-up embraced European styling and offered a more subdued and mature look. A wide range of sizes were offered, although available PCD's catered primarily to Japanese cars, with PCD114.3 and PCD100 making up the bulk of the offerings. Only silver was available, but an optional spinner type centre cap is seen in catalogs from later years. It should be considered extremely rare today. At 5.5kg for 14 6J size, the Albino does not quite match the weight of ultra-high end wheels of the era, but is a real step up over most single-piece cast designs.
