Wheels pervs.... what old school Wolfrace alloy is this?

did think it was called the western

but the front wheel drive format turbovec seems to make more sense


edit

think i confused myself memory is a wonderful thing just wish i had one

see below
western wheel version called the cyclone etc.

They're actually a different design to the Turbovec - similar but different enough to be a separate model line I think. I think these arrived before the Turbovecs... and aren't a specific FWD offset. In fact these are in a RWD fitting for Scimitar, MGB etc. It's interesting to see that MGB pictured with these exact wheels on.
They're definitely Wolfrace, so they aren't Cyclones despite appearing similar (less spokes).

The closest I've got with a morning on Google is this old brochure which seems to suggest they are called simply 'Turbo'...

Western and Cyclone were other manufacturers of the same thing. Turbovec got to be a common term for turbine style mag wheels same way as people called any old slot mag a Cobra Slot Mag for a while.

Lets not get into "FWD offset" type talk either, remember the offset of the factory alloy wheels on a Mk1 Fiesta and Mk4 Cortina were the same...

I suspect that to adjust the offset they could just machine out more or less metal out of the back of a cast wheel...

I'm going to guess the production name was WT3 as per casting.

I'm going to guess that there was a different marketing name for it, Turbo is entirely plausible, especially if it predates the Turbovec...

Neat. I like 'em

The symbol after the word Wolfrace is the GKN company logo.

They're a form of locking wheel nut that uses a magnetic key to remove them.. I've got a set made by Cosmic from 1990.
