  • Anyone identify these steel wheels

    I can't think what they are off so can anyone else identify these wheels ?

    Thanks.

    I dont think they are (off) anything Paul. Weller produced wheels in white and also in silver finish. In fact Marlin offered them in a 15inch size for Berlinettas before offering an alloy compomotive. These look the same to me whatever the dia may be, and of course PCD to suit Marina hub.

      I'm normally quite good at identifying parts but these stumped me.

        Nice and skinny though, great for those snowy conditions.

          Holes like an MGF but not as dished. Good question!

                Found more pictures on owners photo album and I reckon they are Wellers by the blue / red band around the rim.

                    Might be controversial but seeing Triumph / Marina PCD is same as MGF then PCD converters are easy to source "off the shelf" to allow fitment of a wide range of more common wheels.
                    For example -


                    Not use I'd use universal type but 3 3/4" to 100mm PCD available from other suppliers.

                      I have tried to talk to Mike Satur on several occasions, spacers have always been out of stock. You could be lucky.
                      Offsets still need to be checked.

                        Make sure the spigots on the spacers fit the hub and the wheel rim exactly to maintain concentricity. If they are not then the spacer will not be cetralised and the centralisation of the wheel itself will be only governed by the wheel nut.
                        I had to swap my universal ones out because the lack of concentricity of both spacer and wheel rim was giving me wheel balance problems. (hope I am not teaching granny to suck eggs here).

                          Hi Paul,
                          In the Sportster section of the website there is thread "Louvres". Robert has answered with a reference to the following site:

                          Have a look it is well worth it and you may have the answer to your question although I am inclined to agree with Danny. They do look like Weller wheels.

                            If anyone is interested Mike Satur has the MFG PCD adapters back in stock as from today.
