A.R.E Libre's were used on Datsun roadsters and 510's when they won the D prod.
champion in '68 (roadster) and the 510 racing in the small bore trans-am.
They were 13 and 14 inch dia with 4 bolt and 4 spoke. The 15 inch I have seen
had 5 bolt and 5 spoke. They were also referred to as "coke bottle" because of
the
coke bottle shape of the spoke.
I would love to see a picture of the Silverstone wheels! If you want, I could
find a link to a picture of the Datsuns with the 4 spoke Libre's.
