Motorcycle Cast Aluminum Wheel

This is a single cast aluminum wheel, likely for a motorcycle, characterized by its multi-spoke design. The wheel features a central hub with eight bolt holes concentrically arranged around a larger central bearing aperture, indicating it is designed to mount onto an axle and incorporate a brake rotor or sprocket. The spokes radiate outwards from this hub, tapering slightly as they extend towards the rim. There are eight primary spokes, each appearing to be relatively thick and robust, contributing to the structural integrity of the wheel. The finish of the wheel is a two-tone appearance, with the outer rim and the face of the spokes being a polished or brushed aluminum, exhibiting some scuffs and light scratches consistent with use and handling. The recessed areas between the spokes and within the hub assembly show a darker, possibly black or dark grey, finish that appears somewhat oxidized or dirty, suggesting either a painted finish that has worn or simply accumulated grime. The overall condition shows signs of wear appropriate for a used vehicle part; there are no immediately obvious signs of major cracks, bends, or severe damage, though surface wear, minor pitting, and discoloration are present, particularly in the darker areas. The construction suggests it's a solid, single-piece casting, indicative of quality manufacturing for durability and performance. Given its appearance and common designs from the era, it likely dates from the late 20th century, possibly 1980s or 1990s, often seen on cruisers or certain sport bikes of that period.
