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.

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!

I have a couple of these and I have turned up a 2cm aluminium spacer on the lathe which works very well.

Well that is very interesting as i did wonder if that might be a possible solution! Certainly cheaper than finding new hubs!
Thanks David.
