I always liked the late style dished 6 x 10 Cosmic alloys.

Does anyone know about these wheels? How many Mk's of the these wheels were made?

One here on fleabay

Thanks.

On looking it seems it's the Mk2 deep dish that take my fancy.

Yet again I'm thinking rocking horse pooh...

I have a set of 5" 13's on my everyday polo, lovely wheels, hard as to keep nice and shiney though. But there not that rare to get hold of, they often turn up on Ebay or on a forum, had a friend who recently sold his 6x10" set.

Very rare wheel in 6 inch format.

Say's there are two 6" ones here, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290722751736? ... 1423.l2649

I read these wheels need special bolts and they have to have inserts which can give trouble.

I have 2 sets of 10x6 Cosmic Mk2s, one from 73 with the rounded lip and one from 77 with the flat lip. There are some quite significant differences between the two types as there is a lot more clearance for large brakes inside the later ones.

The nuts they use are just standard mini ones, the inserts are the important bits to check.

Arguably an imitation of the JA Pearce wheels.

The 6" 8 spokes are beautiful.

I had 2 sets. Light as a feather as well.

I have a nos set of centres if anyone is interested

On eBay but can remove
