Indeed those are factory optional MAGNESIUM wheels. They came in 5",
5.5" and 6" width by 15" for the big TR's. While not
common on the ground here, they are often seen on Ebay. The 5"
wheels were not the most common size (5.5" probably the most common) and
may be a bit more difficult to locate, but not impossible.<br>
<br>
I still use a set of them on my current TR4A. They were manufactured by
American Racing here in the states.<br>
