One of the fellow mewmbers of the m-100 club I'm in has just set up this site to show what sort of interesting cars are on the roads of W.A. and some from Japan ... www.kpl.com.au/Classics/Index.shtml

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

I've never even heard of a Toyota Tiara! Or a Honda 7! Man, my J-car knowledge sucks! This 'Tina's nice. Can't get enough of Slotmags! If they did them in 16in Merc fitment I'd be a happy fella ;D

They're called "jelly beans" in OZ* ,and if you need Merc stud pattern just look for FORD or Early Valiant on OZ ebay.....It's the same size.
* because of Kidney shaped holes which look like potatoes or jelly beans to the drug addled 70's survivors....

5x112 is also late bay/wedge so should be plenty among the VZi lot, although biggest i've seen is 15".
mate of mine has a good set but they're only 14" and he wants £200.

damn you with your metric system, but Most 5 stud Fords I've come across are 4.5" which is 114.3mm I think. Granada is different though. Not sure what. 5 stud Chrysler is usually 4.5" as well, although A bodies are often 5x4" and some C bodies, Y bodies and D bodies are 5x5". Not sure what the Aussie ones rn but I'd always assumed they were regular A body pitch...

Yeah Mk3 Grannies are 5x112, but I think the centre bore is smaller (Merc is about 62mm or somthing). Might have better luck with some from a bay / wedge.... however, I have precisely £2.64p to my name at the moment so anything car-related will have to wait until I'm in a better financial position

Crêpe, I missed these NSU's... I really like them. Thinking about giving up on Japanese and developing a craving for German threeletterbrands. Think the orange one has Back written on its bum?
