Post by JanWulf »

Hi!

Does anybody here have a glimpse of the original 5.5x12" Mamba wheels? :)

Regards,
Jan

Hey Rich!

Yes, I've spotted them allready ;)
7x13"s to. But that's realy too large :D

Price is realy realy tempting... :ugeek: :o

But to my knowledge, 2 Gates Wheels made 6x(!) 5.5x12" Mambas, just before they went bust... :)

Regards,
Jan

I used to have a pair of (I think) 7x10 Mambas that had 2 sets of spokes, one directly behind the other.
As if the 2 centres were joined together.
Sadly I sold them on many moons ago. :roll:
I'll try and find some pics, but don't hold your breath.
