What wheels are they?????

Post by the-green-monkey »

Just found this picture of a stunning Moggy in Pakistan of all places with some lovely wheels, at first i thought they were fuchs, from a VW beetle, but upon closer inspection im not sure especially since fuchs have a totally differrent PCD to a morris hub. any ideas?

R.I.P Barry Morris, you may have been my first Moggy but you won't be my last.

He said parts are very hard to source so could have modified brakes eg discs and would quite possibly change pcd, so could be almost anything, sorry not very helpful but hey.

If you zoom right in, they look like plastic trims applied to steel rims...

Oh yea I knew that could be done, thats what I do :lol: I'm training to be an engineer and we do a lot of CAD/CAM and CNC work, I just assumed because it was in pakistan that it was less likely thats what would have been done.

Also now that you mention it I think I can see a steelie under there
