[Ratters]

are these mk1 mex wheels? they are 5.5j & look like they should have the big hub cap fitted?

 

[bomber1]

dont know but how many u got and do u want to sell?

[Vista]

I thought mk1 Mex steels had slots in them like this one does?

 

[Ratters]

vista, that looks smart definately different wheels though.

i've only got the two of them. just picked them up & i was thinking of keeping them for rear spares once i have the other steels on & then sell the rs alloys..... not 100% decided yet though tbh.

vista, that looks smart

 

The car's 100% original so they're definitely the original steels from a 72Mex.

 

As to smart, all that glitters isn't gold. You're right it looks good from this angle but last time I saw it (18 months or so ago) it needed quite a lot of work and from what I gather the owner has been messed around by several "restorers" since and it's gone backwards if anything

have given them a quick rub down & there is no markings on them at all. they are 5.5 x 13 with roughly a 19mm offset.

 

doesn't really matter what they are from but i was just interested to know that's all
