Wire Wheels
 

Good morning , a number of SWB owners have wire wheels fitted , i am trying to find out the type/size/new secondhand and make of wire wheels (when used with the Orson adapters) will fit under the standard bodywork and not foul the suspension , this would be the splined wheels not the bolt on type , i already have info from WCA (thanks Nick) just would like to hear what others have installed , thanks Geoff .

I believe William had some splines made up from Orsen for his blue 250. I know he has sold the car but he does still visit the site.
With my bolt on wires the front tyres fouled the struts, changing to a 65 profile tyre solved the problem.

I fitted jag mk2 wire wheels on all my swb cars except the first one and have a set waiting to go on the next one . kit here tomoz hopefully. hub adaptors come from MSW https://shop.mwsint.com/productsList...1&fromsearch=1

the last set were £367 inc vat and delivery Aston martin rims fit but you would need to flare the back arch as I did on my first swb.

Nice!

I had a set of 5 1/2" x 15 Healey wires earlier in the year. They would have fitted your application but with that size and style the spokes and spinners stick out a fair bit from the outer rim. You need a deep dished rim to get the right look, the replica Borranis on the VPG car above are the best I've seen fitted to Tribute 250.I would think they come at a price and you still need to do the rear suspension mod.

Have you considered a period style alloy that would work out as a better compromise, something like BMW or Jaguar lattice spoke design. They can be had cheaply used and with a fresh powder coat do look really smart.

That is simply stunning, the rear window, the panel gaps, the wheels and of course the flawless paint.
Any pictures of the interior?

Good morning many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to provide info and advice , one of my reasons for asking the question was that i recently bought these from Ebay

what i should have done was more research! well anyway with the Orson adapters fitted the rears are proud of the bodywork by approx 1.5" , they do look really good (this is from someone that has said previously they would not fit wires) so they are now for sale (Ebay) , i also have a set of Orson adapters plus the two eared spinners available , Geoff .

Just flare the arches a bit more
