Hi Tom,
thanks your reply.
Yes, I thought about Carrol Shelby too.
The wheels are light- I lost 3kg each wheel compared to TR6´s 5 1/2" wheels
(unfortunately the new 205/65´s are much heavier than the old 165/15 I was
driving before) and they are 4-lug types (Oh I love those yanks! Why did no one
teach me, that lugs are damn wheelnuts?) ;-) but they don´t have spokes.
They´re very "round dished" with 5 oval holes(4" * 2") around the center.
Is there any adress of Carrol Shelby´s firm in the nower days?
Again Thanks,
Peter
P.S. OBTW an idea hit me:
On TV, there is a detective series running.
The series is from the early 80´s, german name: "Trio with 4 fists". The trio
consists of two tough guys and a climsy computerfreak and it is filmed in Cal.
One of them has got a(I guess) ´59 Corvette with that wheels on.
I wonder if that helps !
