GT40 wheels on a Kirkham
I would like to buy a second set of wheels for my 427 S/C Kirkham. For variety's sake, I'd like something a little different than the 427 S/C Trigo wheels that came with my Kirkham (I hate the grey finish that Trigo uses). I have the thicker front brake rotors (1.250 inch thick). The Trigo 427 S/C wheels fit up front, but the Trigo FIA wheels do not (at least not without a spacer). Does anyone know if the PS Engineering GT40 or BRM wheels will fit (without a spacer) on the thicker rotor KMPs? Does anyone know the dimensions of the Trigo 427 S/C wheel so that I could provide them to Phil Schmidt? (my car is not at my house at this time, so I cannot measure them myself.)
Thanks a lot. |
Hi,
I ended up with Trigo's on the front and PSE wheels on the rear. I provided Phil with the exact backspace that I needed and everything fit perfect. If you know the backspace for the Trigo, just add or deduct to give you the desired backsapce and give Phil a call. He was very easy to work with and the rear rims cost me about $800. Let me know if you need any more info. Chris |
I believe the Trigos are 3 1/2" backspace all the way around.

You might give Vintage Wheels a call or check the site. They have the 15" BRM's in stock most of the time and are very easy to work with.

Front width is 7.5", rears are 9.5". Hey 351-EM, can you post a recent pic of your combo (Trigo front, PSE rear)? Would love to see how it looks. Lew, do what I did and re-paint the centers. After a good cleaning, scuff them with a Scotchbrite pad, spend a couple hours masking them off real good and hit them with a spray bomb urethane-based paint of your choice. Easy stuff. -Dean #747 |
Hi Lew
We have 6 pin BRM wheels in both 15 inch and 17 inch www.vintagewheelsus.com or call us on 1888 720 0459 Bob Lacey Vintage Wheels |
I've just bought a set GT 40 wheels NOS for my Kirkham. They are the next five weeks on the ocean to Germany. I will keep you informed about the fitting. I had the same experiance on my car with the FIA wheels from Trigo. I use Phils 7,5 x15 on the front and I also have the big vented brake with Wilwood callipers.
