Chrome reverse rims??

Post by rolesyboy »

Hi Folks, I have just bought some reverse rims. 2 of them have the Cooper type centre riveted to a chrome outer rim. Rivetted wheels sound scary but I am more interested in who made them and any background to them. Presume aftermarket???I have seen them over the years but never taken any notice. Cheers. Mark

It's a fairly safe bet that these were made by Rubery Owen who made the riveted steel wheels for the Lotus Elan.
