They were on the Sceptre when I bought it, and have been in the loft ever since...... I saw some on eBay a while ago described as BRMs, and Dunlop replicas have also been mentioned. Any ideas?

I think maybe Dunlop style as well, but I don't know why and I may well be wrong. They have no identifying marks stamped on them then? That's unusual, a lot of wheels have the manufacturers name on them somewhere or other.

No, they just have a number stamped on. I'd have thought that Dunlops would have the little 'D' logo cast into them.

I'd have thought that as well, maybe they are replicas then.

I saw a photo of a Sunbeam Alpine with a set on at an Alpine specialists and when I mentioned I'd got a set the guy said they were Dunlop replicas. Were Dunlop wheels so expensive that there were replicas about? It all seems a bit strange.....
I've searched through the adverts in my 60s/70s Hot Car mags but can't find anything, but there were a lot of wheel manufacturers around then.....

To my knowledge they were popular enough, not sure what the prices were, but maybe there was a lot of demand?
