PeaTear Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Can anyone identify these wheels? I do like them on the car but 2 of them are missing the centre caps and I want to try to get replacements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 They look wolfrace or supaslot. you may be able to make a replacement centre from an old Coke can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Often centre caps are a bit universal you could try some of the others available to make a set If you need that amount of weights to balance there is a tyre trying to tell you its not at its best Dynamic balance would be normally on the back off set not stuck on the front face Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaTear Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Haha yeah it's shocking the amount of weights. The previous owner reckoned the tyres had been there for about 8 years Loads of tread left though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 you need to get some new tyres, at that age they might have tread, they wont have much grip as the rubber gets very hard 7 years is the recommended replacement age with that amount of weights i guess theres someone trying to counteract some tread runout or a banding problem get some new budget known brand soon preferably round ones with a 2018 build date Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaTear Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 They are another item on the hit list unfortunately an upcoming holiday is putting a stop to any work on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thats fine just be aware they are round and black have a good tread left but thats about all !! please pencil in some replacements when you can, we all work within a budget , they are all you have between you and the road They need to work,, old tyres dont work....maybe move the ideas around , dont spend all the work making the car nice and Some sudden braking in the rain and a ditch or lampost zoom into the plan Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaTear Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Don't worry. The safety items are the first to get sorted, tyres and binding rear brakes. The cosmetic bits can wait until a winter layup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
