Kidney bean wheels

[migge]

Salt flats are okay I think. I use 15" and because I try to replicate the Allen Grant Coventry Motors Cobra, I pinted them like the original.

If you need real ones Glen, I bought a few months ago 9 wheels from the early '60s. 5 with spline drive!!! and 4 with 5 x 4.5 bores. Will pick them up in a few weeks and can send some pics if you want. Real ones are not cheap you know :-)

Cheers
