mark powell Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Someone on the TSSC facebook page has a mix of wheels on his car (Herald or Vitesse). All his wheels are 'large slot' Does anyone recognise this style? They are 13" and apparently the correct PCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Some people use the MGF steel spare wheels on their Triumphs - may be one of those? Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully Nope, they are 14" and don't have the "lugs" for the hubcaps, plus have holes like the late spit/GT6. Reckon it is 80s or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 2 hours ago, mark powell said: Lotus yes, Ford no. Just found this quote on a Wheel Manufacturer's site: In the early days road car wheels were used and the almost standard fitment became wheels made by Dunlop. The rules for Formula Ford 1600 require the wheels to be a standard type manufacture, steel wheel with a 13" diameter and 5.5" width. The majority of cars still use a Triumph based 3.75" (95.25mm) PCD, but a few use Ford PCD of 4.25" (108mm) and some a PCD of 101.6mm (4"). Les Weller launched a new wheel in 1983 and instantly this became the wheel to have winning every major Championship and Trophy race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
