We were asked to suggest 3 names for this upcoming wheel design for week 1:
My first name choice for the new wheel design is 100% “RADIAL”!
This wheel reminds me of an early aviation Radial engine, which was the strongest, most reliable engine built during its time. One of the coolest features of the radial was that it could sustain an incredible amount of damage from enemy fire and it could still continue to run on other cylinders long enough to make a safe landing back home.

My second name choice for the new wheel would have to be “Duster”
Many people associate a modern day farming combine with kicking up a ton of dust during harvest whether it be in the field or cruising down the road blocking traffic and “dusting out” everyone behind it. The Bean Head that attaches to the front of the combine for use in bean or wheat harvest has a very similar profile look as the LURC wheel, hence the name “Duster”.

My last name choice is “Frag” for its resemblance to a fragmenting bullet
