Re: Wheel meet again!!
In the course of clearing my workshop these came out from under the bench, must have been there for he best part of thirty years, they were new then and intended to be used for a welding bottle trolley but it never got done. They're 8" diameter and have 3/4" bronze centre. solid tyres.
Available to anyone who wants them.

You can't beat a three-stud wheel for an unusual spot these days.

Re: Wheel meet again!!
Here's one of my originals from the other day.
The wire wheel of an XK150 Jaguar. Very nice. -----------------
Oddity or not.
These wheels are on the most expensive Rover P6 Sold at Auction in recent years as I mentioned here, and usually with those sort of things originality is part of the value.

These are described as "Minilite Magnesium rims shod with Vredestein VR Sprint Classic tires".

Re: Wheel meet again!!
A P6 does not look right with alloys in my view... Only wheels for a P6 are Rostyles...
That said, Minilites are the best and on some cars really look the business, just not on a P6...

At least you know you'll never suffer a puncture with that one!

Or it cracking in the side walls, or ride comfort!

Re: Wheel meet again!!
They should fit that to Citreons, see how the ride feels then.... I'd imagine it would still be comfortable

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

Re: Wheel meet again!!
But for having a slow puncture a few weeks back, it's not hard to imagine my Picasso already has solid tyres fittedRp0thejester wrote: ↑19 Nov 2023, 19:31 They should fit that to Citreons, see how the ride feels then.... I'd imagine it would still be comfortable

Re: Wheel meet again!!
You can still have cracking, I'll take a picture of my wheelbarrow's solid tyre, it's full of cracks! (Held together sooo far!)
