They are 4J x 13, with an inset, ie the rim is inline, or slightly inboard, of the hub face.<br>
I'll measure one of mine when I get chance.<br>
If you know of a set of alloys for one, (cosmic, or minilites), I'll sanp their hands/arms/right side of body off.<br>
DON't fir RWD wheels, you'll foul the body, and wreck the suspension.<br>

Sounds an odd set up to me, I await your final measurements. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=

I see what you mean, just looked at a picture of a FWD.

would very very hard to find alloys for these only ever saw 1/2 with alloys on in the days when these were plentiful on the roads and because they only fit fwd's<br>
super rare to get hold of<br>
do remember a multi spoke wheel but no idea who made it

I wanted to get one step ahead with a set of new minilites, which now seems impossible. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=

Shortly to own Scott's 1300 single carb. For pics, got to general off topic chat, page 6 under strangest car trade or words to that effect.<br>
<br>
Beautiful (my first FWD)<br>
<br>
When is the next meet and where? I'm still off work at the moment so I can't see it being a problem.

S/E Yorks meeting

Next meet Wed 30th August, Percy Arms, Airmyn.<br>
<br>
Was going to carry over into Sept but the new DM will be out this week advertising (hopefully) last Wed of each month so stick as we are.<br>
<br>
Alloys idea: paint some black shapes on silver wheels and they'll look like Minilites from a distance.....<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=
