Just thought I'd say a quick Hi
Purchased a 1300 Dolomite not so long ago, I think it may well be known to the Club - the wheels have been changed tho

Those aren't Wolfies Tony! They look more like the once eponymous Weller Steelies sprayed silver rather than the normal white.
They look good on it though! Welcome to the forum TS!

Well spotted Steve, i think your eyesight is better than mine
I think they suit it though. Didn't the wellers have a pin stripe around the outer rim, blue and red if i remember.

They look like alloys from here, maybe wolfrace or cobra?
But I will admit my eyes aren’t what they used to be either.....
They look good though, whatever they are, proper period! I like them.

Good evening all,
Thank you for the welcome !
To answer a few of the replies, I am located in Southampton & the wheels I am led to believe are Weller Steels from a GT6.
They are 6J & have a different offset so are a bit tight under the arches !
I picked the Dolly up from Leeds & it ran back to the south coast fine. I Travelled that distance as it's structurally sound, just a bit fluffy around the edges which I will sort next year.
There are a few minor issues to iron out, but nothing other to be expected from a 40+ car.

Welcome TS I too am a 1300 fan and know the car you got off Steve well. It is a sound car that you will be able to improve on. Steve told me of your background, he bought my 1300 so sold this, and I'am sure with your skills it will be done well.

There's a few Dolly owners in Sholing . one has two sprints that get used, another with a FWD and TC in his garden that will stay there till they die and a chap that has a 1500hl.
If you ever need parts, advice or need somewhere dry to to work give me a shout

Welcome to the forum! You’re in the best place for Dolly support here: what these guys don’t know isn’t worth knowing
Nice wheels!
