I had a set of those wheels in the mid 80s. They were good except that two of them were porous and you had to check the tyre pressure every week!

If they leaked they were probably magnesium and if they are magnesium they would probably leak a lot more now!

Well they certainly do not look like cosmics... well they do but only because of the cutout. Maybe some person has hacked them up? :roll:

Okay they are not Cosmics ( :?:

)
Some guy tried to sell the above wheels to me, They are made for a trailor wheel :!:

The plot thickens
I believe the wheel I posted was a copy of the dunlops if that helps

I think "Hobie Catamaran" Trailers were fitted with a wheel similar to this. I may not be right, but its a guess...

Who has Mini Magic Volume 2????? There's a white rally mini with these kinda wheels on it, but i cant tell if they're real or fake.... anyone else??

I'd say perhaps a Cosmic rip-off. I was looking at some cosmics in a book last night and they were similar (these ones were different to wgormly's pic). They had the triangle holes, but they were a different size/shape.

Gafmo, we have one of these wheels at work - a pole has been welded into the middle and the wheel is now a lamp stand :lol:

Anto.

I'd say that they ARE a dunlop..... I Just sold 5 (WITH Caps!!)
They look very similar to the aussie copy, the "Tasman".
The Tasman's ribs scoop inwards where the dunlop scoops outward......

Good luck !
