Weller Rims on eBay

Post by Andy W »

Being on the lookout for some cheap wider rims, I am watching these BUT is it just me or does the centre hole look far to big for Minors?

If your after wider don't companies make your wheels wider? Either by adding a strip or putting the centres into other rims. http://www.bandedsteelwheels.co.uk/banded-steel-wheels

Asking the seller to confirm the PCD is the obvious route, if you are not sure?

I've asked him a few questions but I don't think he knows too much about them.
Do you know if the PCD would be stamped on the rims?

The seller states they were intended for a Mini in which case they will be too small for a Minor :cry:

I was a bit surprised at the listing mentioning both Minor & Mini - when I zoomed in on the pictures the tyres appear to have 175/70/13 on them & he states they were taken from a Minor.......

They are 4 stud wheels! Can't be difficult to measure across, centre to centre (or outside to inside of holes), to the nearest mm.

"Taken from a Minor" could be misleading. Minors have been fitted with Marina (or other) hubs and axles, as we well know.

Mini wheels are 4" (101.6mm) PCD, as far as I am aware.
