wolfrace

[les]

Anyone know if Wolfrace ever made their slot alloys for a Minor 14inch x 4 1/2 or 5 J ?

My wolfrace are 14 X 6 on my TR7 - so they have the 3.75" pcd.

Wanted to advertise for some but need to find out if they were ever produced for a minor, otherwise no hope of a response! if they did a 14'', hopefully they did a 4''pcd and narrower than 6''. Not sure if the original company exists any more. Will trawl the wonderweb.

I am sure I have seen them on a midget, but they would only be 13".

[Matt]

they definately did them in 13" with a 4.5" PCD, and as said also 14" but I have never found any with 4" or 108mm PCD...

[les]

No, I've a feeling I'm not going to get them in standard Minor form. Thanks everyone for the input.

[kevin s]

There are a pair of 13" advertised as 4" pcd on ebay.

[bmcecosse]

I'm sure you will find 13" at 4" pcd.

[les]

Thanks for letting me know, although I was hoping to avoid the 13 inch route. I'll certainly have a look though.

Hi there,
I'm pretty sure they narrowest 14" rim they did was 6" wide. I lived near the Wolfrace outlet in Bedford and went there for a set for my van in the 70's. The wheels were undrilled, you told them what you wanted, they drilled them, gave them a polish and you took them away still warm.
6" was too wide for the front without them sticking out so I had 5.5 x 13 for the front and 6 x 14 for the back. No problems getting them under rear van arches.

[bmcecosse]

That's an idea! My wheels could easily be drilled for 4" pcd - pitched round 45 deg from the existing holes - making then dual purpose - TR7 and Minor! And decent 13" wheels with nice chunky tyres look (and work) very well on a Minor. I wouldn't discard that idea les !

If only it was done like that now, best days have gone! I will look into the 13 inch stuff, I'm not desperate for them, just be nice for the summer and back to the steels for the rough stuff. Who an I kidding. Once they were on they'd probably stay there!

They look good. What size are they - 13" or 14"?

[les]

Different type of Wolfrace wheels than I had in mind! very nice though

[DaisyMayFozz]

These are the ones that came on my project convertible although they are 13 inch. They need polishing and I need to finish the car aswell!! [frame][/frame]
These the ones you had in mind?

[Maximas]

On a different note what's the best way to polish them...and with what....mine are dull..also those centre caps ..do they push on or do you take the wheel off then push them on from the inside...with thanks

[les]

Yes Chris they're the type.

[ColinChandler]

hello everyone and merry Christmas,
Yes, centre caps. The hole is counterbored and the centre cap is stepped so the caps go in from the back and push through. Then you fit the wheel on the car.
Wheel profiles. There's quite a few. The conventional dished one as shown on the Minor with no wing and the reverse dish on the white convertible. Even the conventional dished ones are not all the same with some having various steps in the profile. if you end up buying in 1's and 2's, have a good look to see what you are actually buying if you want a matched set.
Cheers, Colin.
