Breyton Inspiration Design Change (archive)

For the few Breyton Inspiration lovers like JIMMY, thought you find this interesting. By a strange set of circumstances, I ended up with two different Breyton Inspiration designs. The 'new' design is on the left and the 'old' design (which matches the images on the Breyton and Tire Rack web sites) is on the right. There are a number of changes. (1) Design elements of the wheels are different especially around the hub area between the double spokes. (2) There is a slight difference in the spacing between the double posts. (3) The new wheel has a different machined lip design with a slight edge as opposed to a more rounded design on the old wheel. (4) Not shown in the pictures is a considerable improvement in the quality of the impression/casting both on the face and back of the wheel. (5) Also not shown are the center caps which are different in both size/design and color of text. New caps will not fit old wheels. Only bad news (for me) is the 18" is out of stock again at Tire Rack and not due to end of July. So I have one set on the left and one of the right. At least it wasn't front and rear.
