I think that Dunlop only made wheels in the UK. I have not seen anything saying they made wheels anywhere else.

All Cooper S wheels were imported- I bought a new set in 1966. :wink:
ROH made the 3.5Bx10 Mini wheels here, but their well diameter was about 1/8" bigger than the 4.5Jx10 Cooper S wheel.
Way back then I used to widen S wheels for Parramatta Speed Shop. I used a 3.50Bx10 outer rim, split it and rolled the well diameter down to fit.
Then stick welded it to the split S rim, so it had 2x wide beads. Could get to 6" wide, just.

I've got tarox 4pots on a rover (vented with 8.4" drive flange) - the calipers a smaller than the minispares ones by the looks of it - they are tiny.

Interested in these wheels, if i tried a standard S steelie would i be able to check the clearance? are they the same?

S steel wheels are smaller inside than the alloys - so if an S steelie fits then these will... and I'll start saving up for a set

tarox have dimensions here, I'll put modelling a caliper on my list of things to do, I modelled the wheel a few years ago (or is Em busy??)

I'm not telling you if they're normal hubcaps until I see a picture of the inside of the wheel :P

thanks Bam :)

here's the inside of mine - quite different - I reckon it's a different manufacturer. And I've figured out what 104535 means

How do you keep a fool in suspense?

I'll tell you later.........
OK, I'll bite, what does '104535' mean?
