M12 Alloys

[S43]

Hi, does anyone have any details, like make/mode/size etc. for the original 10 spoke alloys like those on the 2002 / 2003 models?

I have been doing lots of research on wheels for the M12 since becoming an owner.
I believe that the original early M12 wheels were "AZEV Type E" wheels. Search images on Google with this name and you can see for yourself. The sizes and offsets are all the same as the later M12 GTO 3R wheels (plenty of info on spec of these on this forum/the web).

If anyone has any info on replacement wheels can they post up please Thanks

[S43]

Thanks both for your response. I have now found some on the net but need to check the hubs are the same. Are the hub caps a Noble bespoke item as all the ones on the net are standard flat with the word azef accross it.

Hmm, similar design, but they don't look the same. More curvy than ours. Plus images with the hub covers off suggest 5 nuts rather than 4.

I'm sure the GTO wheels are bespoke to Noble so u won't find any unless selling from a noble owner. SWL have some for sale I think but not cheap.

I was lucky to bag a 2nd set for £100 a couple of years ago.

£100...thats madness, thats cheaper then a set of steels! Good find. Unfortunately a standard set of M12 Azef's wont fit my 10 unless I pull the arches out, so I was trying to find the same in a smaller size.

Id be very surprised if Noble had the wheels bespoke made.

Think the wheels are a TSW type but drilled for the ford offsets that we have. I guarantee u will be hard pushed to find them on another car.

They were £250 with slicks the ones I got and I sold the slicks.

I paid £500 for a spare set off the 'bay complete with part worn R888s, about a year ago. The do come around from time to time.
