Tuscan/'M'' series Wheels!!!

[ol' dirty]

I thought about this the other day & even phoned up a Classic alloy wheel refurbishment company- I believe they are on ebay.

Anyway, they said it could not be done...& then I find this!!!

How much effort was required to get them to fit? Custom Hubs/Wheels spacers?

This is exactly how I pictured my car, so It looks like this one will have a sister car!

I've seen a few Scimitar with those wheels. (You may need spacers on the front and possibly longer wheel studs)




What size are the wheels that you are looking at?

I have 15 x 7" Wolfraces on my Scimitar and they do need 10mm spacers on the front.

I believe they are a 15" alloy & I am hunting around for a set, that has to be one of the best looking scimitar's I have seen

Hmmm, not sure the all-black look works with that shade of blue.

Nice wheels and car though.

Hi

The wheels were used on the Tuscan/Vixen and very early M's. I have them on my Vixen.

There are a few problems with them. The 1st is that they go very porous and I now have to use tubes with mine. The second is that they are for 7/16th studs so you will have to drill them for your 1/2" studs. Thirdly they have steel tapered inserts that split with age and they are no longer available so you will have to get some made up but you will have to do this anyway to fit the 1/2" studs. Also they are quite a bit narrower than Dunlops on my 5A and 165 as opposed to 185 and getting tyres for them is about as easy getting tyres for my Dunlops.

Nigel- thank you for the info- I have just got hold of a full set from another PH'r.
Waiting to pick them up.

I will be looking into the stud collars

I've got Vixen wheels fitted with 205 tyres no spacers and they fit fine
