Avon Safety Wheels, 4.5x10" The Avon Safety Wheel avoids the detachment of a deflated tyre by having a much shallower central recess within the interior of the wheel. The recess is so shallow that the tyre is prevented from twisting, what would allow it to slip over the edge of the rim, so it is retained. Such a shallow recess would also prevent the fitment of new tyres, if it weren't for the inclusion of a deep channel, allowing the bead of the tyre to enter the channel to permit fitting. The channel is covered by a metal band that is tightened around the wheel after the tyre is fitted but before it is inflated.

Edgar Schwyn, 5x10" Edgar Schwyn was a Swiss tuner. Apparently he designed & sold this wheel which was then produced by another company (not uncommon as a own fundry is not economical for smal batches of wheels).
Same design as above, but no lettering at all. Seemingly this is the same wheel as the 'Edgar Schwyn' wheel. Maybe Edgar Schwyn had a batch made under his own name but the (unknown) manufacturer sold they'r own unbranded version of the wheel? If anyone has anymore information about it - I'm very glad to hear about! :-)

Mamba, 5x10" Mamba lightweight alloy wheels were made by John Thornton, back around 1966-67. They were designed for Minis and were available in 5", 5 1/2" & 6" as standard. Any other size on special order; these large sizes were used on single seaters of the day. John Thornton was also a friend of Alan Staniforth the designer/constructor of a Mini-based world record holding home made single seater called the Terrapin. The Mamba project was sold in the early 70's and has passed through many hands since, the last firm to make Mambas was probably MWS some years ago.
Mamba, 5x10" The early edition had valve stem "inside" rim hidden amongst the spokes (see above) while later version had valve stem in outer rim. The wheel pictured is believed to be a very late made wheel due to the general 'softer' appearance.
Mamba, 6x10"
Mamba, 6x10" There are japanese copys around; the main difference is where the valve comes out of the rim, the "real" ones come out straight from the outer rim and the japanese ones come out of the black bit and on a 45° angle
Also available as 5x10"
Mamba, 8x10" This is an sand cast 8" wheel used on a 'Terrapin' single seater racer in the late 60's. Allan Staniforth and some friends where in desperate need of some wide wheels for theyr Terrapin single seaters. After banded steel wheels got banned by the regulations, they decided to cast theyr own wheels. That's how the 'Mamba' project started. There where probably less than 30 8" wheels being cast (sand cast by hand!). At the time being, it was as light and solid as a magnesium Minilite, but much cheaper to get - so it got quite a popular wheel back then and still is.

MiniMan Carbon Race Rims
Another rim from TheMiniMan Made up for speedway Minis, runs a bead lock system and zues fasteners for a mud plate too
Momo, 5x10" !! NOTE !! The 4 Momo wheels below are sold by MOMO, but not cast by Momo. Momo did never have a foundry. So they might be cast by a big company like FONDMETAL. There's still much reasearch to do. There's actually no proof yet who realy did cast them.
So it depends of what you call them... Momos, Fondmetals, - they seem to be commonly known as both.

Centrecaps part of casting, clamped in lid, as opposed to the next wheel.
Momo, 5x10" ET21 Those have cast '5.00x10' and '2r' into the outer lip. Although they look masive and heavy, they are comparably light; 3.3kg/wheel.
Momo, 5.75x10" ET3
Momo, 5.75/6x10" Real hubcaps instead of cast in raising with clamped in metal lid. Some are stamped 'Made in italy, Momo, 6x10J'. It seems they came in two widths? I know a set which is 5.75" wide and one that is 6".
