Been looking for wheels and every time I see a set that look nice they don't do it in my fitment, now mine is 95.25 or 3.75inch, but only ones that seem to fit are dreadfull minilights something looking similar to mini lights or spokes  . did try the PCD chart but triumph wasent on there, I keep seeing alot of these 4stud multifit but depends on what the 2 fitments are doesent it? not going to change the hubs, so anyone know what other makes are the same? want something chrome or chrome and black, deep dish would be nice I think. well your the retro guys you know what would look nice. HELP please.. |

Have a look here  www.sportssix.info/wheels.php?sort=95Here's our car on Cosmics. They come up on Ebay every so often.  These are what it now wears, marketed by Firestone in the late sixties/early seventies.  |

3.75 is what a lot of 70s/80s racing cars use (derived from herald front hubs...), meaning there are quite a few 13x7/8/9/10 Revolutions in circulation, and loads of split rims. Have a look on www.racecar.com. |

seth, the second ones do look nice, have you got a picture of those on your car? Here you go  How about some Turbo vecs! Herald is the same pattern as TR7's these should go on but I'd confirm what size they are first. Paint black and polish spokes   |

Triumphs are the same PCD as a lot of older J stuff - Mitsubishi, Datsun, etc. Also MGB and Scimitar. I used to run Scimitar Wolfies on my Colt Celeste, although that's of no use to you!

No more old cars

Herald, Spitfire, Allegro, Toledo, Dolomite, TR7 and I think A30 / A35 are all 3.75"
Any more for any more?

Montego, Maestro and MGF are 3.75" too, you might get a set of 15s on if you choose your tyres carefully. Personally (as I said in the flames thread) I'd go for the standard wheels in gloss red with the original caps and trim rings...whitewalls would set the whole lot off. Spend the wheel money on suspension and pinstriping! ;D |

Allegros are 4.5 I think. Yep, there was one up the road from me when I was a lad with Triumph 2000 steelies on...also a good few years ago (1994 I think) we dropped one on Stag alloys to do RTTS in (but blew the engine before we left  ) I'd second that.....but maybe go for baby blue for the wheels and have 'em banded out to 5.5". With chrome smoothie hubcaps and whitewalls it would look the dog's danglies. |
