Got the trailer, and the wheels on there are manky, also 13 inch. Measuring across the hub centre, between 2 nuts gives me 140mm or thereabouts. It is an AL-KO chassis, and vintage is 1981 according to the chassis plate. I have been offered by a member on here for a decent price , some adaptors made up to take it away from where it is now, to maybe something a bit more common. I have a spare set of 4 4x100 5spoke alloys, 2 with very good tyres IIRC, which are 100% bland. What is out there in 4x140 that may be nicer than what I have ? I may even contemplate moon discs, nice plastic hubcaps etc in the mean time. Or what can I do with the bland ones ? Matt/satin black or paint is the only option, the shape does not lend itself to detailed paint application. Here is a pic of the offending items, and the Blandness. (really not much in the way of redeeming features there)

Grizz, same pcd as a Barkas-if it helps!
Recently found some nice slots for it (-ex Ford Bronco). Cheap too.
So-they are out there....

Anyway you could incorporate the Sinclair colours on those wheels without it looking a bit too much (if you get my gist?)
Maybe, spray all white then paint the inside of the rim green and pick out the outside rim edge with red?

Under a White or black mudguard...... ?? Opinions on white or black mudguard with primary white wheel. These do beat whats on there at the moment. Next problem is getting them collected and back here from Manchester at zero or low cost.

They end Thursday 2.30pm, still need to decide untill I hit the make bid button whether they are the right ones for me, or do I go with a set of adaptors to take them to a more sensible size, @ £40 for a pair, plus postage, it seems to be a very viable option, opening the doors to so many other styles. Would you be able to transit them at your place, in case someone on the Retro Rides Express can bring them down this way, or alternately a cheap courier could do it ?? I know some of you guys know cheap couriers who do sets of wheels and tyres for silly money across the country.
