I love how deep dished they look!

Yeah, they do look a little featureless without the cut-outs.

They are different but similar to OEM wheels, the main difference being the width of the wheels I believe are 5.5J. The cut outs are round rather than teardrop shaped and they are made by Weller Wheels for use on Formula Ford 1600 class so are probably lighter and/or stronger than Triumph Spitfire standard wheels too.

Hi, I have seen the Formula Ford style wheels fitted to a Spitfire similar to the ones pictured (but silver). I think they look pretty smart and would like to put a set on my Spitfire but I cannot find any info on dimensions best suited to the Spitfire like offset, backspace, tyre size etc. If anyone has these on their car, please share a picture.

I’ve been recommended PK automotive in Lincoln. I’ll wait to see if they can do anything for me?

Oh that’s a shame (for me)!

Are you still local? What do you drive (Triumph I mean)?

Your powers of deduction are superb. I’ll try him on Monday then.

Cooleys?

Yes it was, very near home at a popular supermarket chain.

Thanks for the info there. Just need to get these bad boys set up now.

Hi, My name is Phil and I have just purchased not only my first Triumph but my first classic car. Deep in the rural countryside where nobody goes is where I call home, everyone else calls it Lincolnshire but it seems I may very well be alone here? I am looking to get my Spitfires twin 40 DCOE’s set up but arguably more importantly, if there is anyone else local to me with a spitfire too? I have searched for groups and meets but to no avail so far. Anyway, I expect to be out of my depth pretty soon so thanks in advance for all the help, tips and advice.
