Wheels Identifcation

Post by geoberni »

I could post this question of the facebook group, but I don't want to have to sift through all the random answers.... :wink:

So Basil is a SII, but has got latter 8" front brakes, and I've always thought that perhaps the wheels are from a 1000, probably the same car that donated the brakes and some other bits a couple of decades ago, because there are no adjuster holes in the wheels.
Are there any other tell-tale signs to look for?
They seen to be about 4" wide, so I'm assuming not van wheels.
These are the front wheels that I had off at the weekend.
I'm sure some of you will know exactly what wheels they are. I can't see any numbers stamped into them. :-?

They look like standard Minor 1000 wheels to me.

My deductions were spot on then.
