Title: Re: Wire wheels Post by: davidwheeler on 23 September, 2022, 07:19:00 PM Have emailed them and got a good reply and much cheaper quote than another I found on t'net. Now all I need is the wheels - and the car - currently in limbo somewhere between Torino and home.
Title: Re: Wire wheels Post by: Tim Wilson on 25 September, 2022, 02:17:28 PM Good luck! As a novice owner i have just noted the wheels on the rear have a hub 9cm deep and on the front it is 7 cms hence my spare only fits the front hubs not the rear! I can now see why Lambdas carry two spare wheels!! I am now searching for a 9cm deep hub on a 21 inch wheel! I have two 20 inch wheels both of 7 cm deep hubs if anyone is interested!

Thanks David. |
