I don't agree, the quality of most modern wheels, be they copies of 1960's designs or whatever are far superior to most of the wheels made in period - just look at that set of mystery rosepetals that someone posted up here the other week that looked like they where porus they had so many air holes in them! - you just wouldn't be able to get away with selling wheels of that dubious quality now a days, that's for sure!

id also argue that the minispares minilife design wheels stand up as a classic wheel - they have been available for 15 plus years and many cars are fitted with them! I would go as far to say that they are a perfect wheel, the flat edge rim design and the shape of the spokes is far prettier (and more period looking) than the modern minilight wheels......
..I said style and design ?! nothing about quality,..thats as maybe..though I remember ordering a set of wheel nuts and spacers that were from mws d 1,s that don't fit or work thread or depthwise with original d1,s that I own from manufactured in 1969....foxy52


I think its great that such a great range of wheels are avaible now - it certainly gives people the option of been a bit different

Remotec. Late 60's early 70's I think.
