There is debate on this - I've also read several times that it's 5x4.5" (ie 5x114.4)

i know, which will be really annoyin if thay are, what are yours? Should be the same as yours! Will try to measure the pcd at lunchtime.... The Cosmics are Amazon pattern, as the guy who sold them to me was an extreme old Volvo nut, and was very specifiic about them being for PV, Amazon & B18 engined P1800.

I'm pretty sure that Amazons are 5 X 4.5" (same as US Ford 5-stud). If that's the case, then the possibilities are endless. I'd say Smoothies with no hubcaps and wide whites, sort of '58-'60 kustom style. They'll look great whether the car's rat or not.

Measure between the centres of two adjacent holes and multiply by 1.7012.

The US Ford fitment sounds right, but be careful as apparently most wide wheels won't fit in the arches, especially at the front, where it will also end up limiting the steering lock... Also, if the rear tyres are too wide, the brakes will need balancing to avoid the rears locking up in the wet. Should be plenty of info about wheels on www.brickboard.com as it's US based

rmad in da house: Moon discs or Flipper caps.I'll second that!!!! Other alternatives are gloss black or red with chrome trim rings & spiders.... or flipper caps.... Or why not match the "Lucky Lady" with some nudie girl caps..... Since the PCD is American Iron there's a bunch of rim sizes available and you can get a perfect "leadsled" look with the right rims & hub caps. IMO alu wheels is a big NO NO on a car like yours but to each his own.... DP says: Painted steelies & hub caps rule.......
