Lemmerz E1029 is missing, ok... Any more?

@chopchop:
Yeah, cheviot turbo, damn cool wheels! 8)
But... I don't think it fits into that list...

Maybe I'm adding a "modified" section at a later time.

Cheers,
Jan

Probably not...its just that the early rim types should also be recorded, starting with the hub-to-rim rivetted examples.

There are also several types of 4 1/2 in wheels as well...different offsets etc...there is a thread in Ausmini that discusses them.

and

Quote: After troubles with the centres of the wheels of early Minis "pulling out" (wheel breakage) a wheel stamped "RO11" was fitted to all Minis. When we wanted wheels to widen for our Minis we scoured the scrapyards for RO11's. They never gave any trouble. Unquote

Don't forget there was a set of BBS wheels (10" I'm sure) on UK ebay some time back. The listing's been removed so cant get a picture for you.

There were 12"s too, imo.
I need to examine my old harddisks, had some pics of them.

I've added some more wheels - over 170 now! :shock:

Cheers,
Jan

How is the list going? Things starting to quieten down yet? (Surely we must be running out of rims :) )

I have a pair of wheels on my car like these but they are 12" and it says or they are "Performance turbo 12 x 5" and where they are (polished?) silver they were originally painted gold because under the tyres there is gold paint. They havn't been drilled to suit. i will post a picture when i take one.

I like that site (it has two pictures of my wheels on there :P ). On a serious note it is very comprehensive.

It appears on google now!? Wow... :lol:
That's fast!

197 wheels at the moment.
Got some 5 or 6 more to add... And getting even more :D
I add them bit by bit whenever I have a little time.

I've just splitted the page into 3 sections, 'cause it is such a long list and splitting makes it much easyer to go through.

Cheers,
Jan

Hey Asphalt

the 13 inch wheels you have listed as "un-known1" on the red race mini are "Avantis"
