Do we have names for the different Weber wheel styles?

[Chris Allingham]

So we have "whitewall":



I'm calling this "whitewall asterisk", but what does everyone else call this style?



What do we call this style of Genesis II wheel?



How about these charcoal wheels...what do we call this style? Hubcap?



What do we call this style of wheel? Blackwall?

I think I had been calling the second ones "Star wheels". But Asterisk might be a better name.

 

[Jon Tofte]

I've seen them referred to as "flower", too!

Don't forget there is an even earlier "whitewall" from the very first Genesis grills. Maybe we can call those "Gen 1 Whitewalls."

I will try to post a picture tomorrow if someone else doesn't do it first.

 

[Chris Allingham]

Yes, I've seen those old whitewalls, some called "pinstriped", very much like a car whitewall tire with no letter on a hard rubber wheel.



I also found another variation of the hubcap wheel...a slotted hubcap?

How 'bout we call them "Daisy wheels"? But there's the wheel part itself, kind of a "Cragar" or "Mag" style of wheel vs a spiny wheel.

EDIT: But yeah, let's post it up!

I know some of the Q grills have some different style wheels as well. But they may have been posted already.

Here is a Q320 wheel

That is the same wheel that was on a Q320 Titanium that I sold last year. And also on a collapsible cart for a Q1000

I didn’t even think of those old kettle wheels with the painted white walls, and I even have an old kettle with those.

The kind I was referring to was the plastic wheels on the first Genesis that have the white wall close to the edge. As promised, I will post a picture soon.

What should we call these wheels (other than cool) from a 56’ kettle?

 

[Ed P]

Dog Dish? Moonies? They remind me of the Baby Moons on my Corvair.

 

[Kelly C]

Treadless or Tread Head?
