Default Dunlop style wheel adaptors

In an effort to find a cheap "period" looking wheel I'v come up with this conversion which I think are a good tribute not replica of the Dunlop style wheel as used on many of the classic racing cars.





This is fitted to a standard VW Golf 14" wheel with a simple chrome rim trim. They do not stick out passed the body work so they should not suffer from "garage rash".

I had the aluminium disc custom made and the 3 eared spinner is a ABS plastic unit which just screws on.

I'm not sure how to fix them yet as with out a spacer the wheel nuts will foul the spinner.
I have though of drilling and tapping the ends of the wheel studs and fitting the disc's with a allen keys, round head or counter sunk head. Or drilling and tapping the hub to the fixing is hidden under the spinner.



If there's enough interest I'll look seriously into making them in sets of four to order to fit individual wheels and PCD's.

IMHO I think there the dogs do-das
