Hi guys

I have recently purchased these wheels off of the Bay.
They are 5 by 10, and I believe they are either firestone BRM's or Alcan style wheels.

I was wandering if anybody had any info at all on them.

Also got this thrown in as well ;D

Yeah, I checked the wheel directory to identify them (great website),
I was just curious if there was some more in depth info on them, such as a production run, whether or not they were standard on some cars, etc.
The seller also stated they were made of aluminium.
I had a little look on google and wikipedia and found they were fitted to hillmans, triumphs and some other cars but I couldn't find much else about them.
There was a guy selling some 12 by 5's on a clubman on here a while back as well.
yeah the last one is a Dunlop D1 which was a nice surprise when I got the package delivered. :proud:

My dad sold a set recently, think they are the ones you are talking about.

Have a look at this:
