Unknown Wheel

Post by Jefftav »

I aquired two of these wheels with my recent project car and they were fitted to a Marina hub but they definetly weren't meant for the Marina pcd. The wheel is 13in and the pcd (as best I can measure) is 101mm with the centre hole being 65mm, the tyre in the picture is 155/80/13. Would this be a minor pcd? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Minor PCD is 101.6mm, or 4" in real money.
They look like Cobra Supaslots.

Well the simplest suggestions are the best :oops: The name is stamped on the wheel and it is a wolfrace wheel and the numbers stamped on the wheel are 5.50x13x50inches. I just need to establish the pcd as I have Marina hubs and these don't fit properly they squeeze the studs out of shape and I can't measure accurately sometimes I think it is definetly 101mm other times 99mm.

I suspect they are MInor as they came from a guy who collected minors but I will need to try them on a minor hub to be sure.

Thansk for everyones suggestions. :D

The mystery continues as these wheels definetly don't fit a minor pcd and look too big for the Marina pcd. Would anyone know if there is an tool that I could buy that will accurately measure the pcd as I think I will want to sell these wheels but can't until I know what the pcd is :-?

yes there is

might be worth trying your local halfords / alloy wheel dealer / tyre place though as they may well measure it for you as some good will

Hello Jeff,

a tape measure or ruler will do quite well. Don't try and guestimate from centre to centre instead measure from the edge of one hole to the same edge of the other hole.

In rather small type on the easypcd site it says "Appologies, EasyPCDs are unavailable to purchase at this time."

I was passing Halfords today so went in and asked and they can check the pcd for me. So when I get a chance I will take the wheel off and take it into Halfords. Thanks everyone.
