Classic Wheels

Need to add one wheel to your list of new and old classic wheels. The 4 and 5 spoke Revolution wheels from the 60's on. Still available new and they look fantastic on lots of cars.

Revolutions are cool. Believe me, that story was quickly on its way to becoming a book.

I loved the article. And I agree about the Revolutions.

It explained why I liked some Torque trust wheels (older versions), and did not like some (newer version). I didn't know it was about disc brakes.

On the Libre wheel, the article mentions it was limited to 4-lug patterns. The 5-lug version was the S200. Otherwise known as the American "Daisy" wheel:

A little while back they were sort of re-released as the CP200. The problem is the current wheel is a chromed steel rim with a cast aluminum center, similar to the Cragar S/S. The S200 was a cast 1-piece wheel.

The new 200S is all aluminum. Some are one piece and some are two piece.

My copy arrived other day but wont have time to read it till after Daytona.

I love the rev's as well but they were to $$$ so I went with the classic mini-lites but in 15" to open up the tire options a touch. The larger size is not everyone cup of tea but it suited what I wanted my car to look like.

I have six 13x7 RFX's and , no, they are not for sale.

I think the 15" Minilites look the business on there... Updated but not absurd.

Good to know! I need to get a sales rep on the phone and get a current catalog for the shop. When they first re-introduced the CP200 I was very disappointed.

I had a set of 200S' on my Malibu in high school. They were only 14" wheels, but looked good.

One day I hope to grace the car with a proper set if wire wheels. I think she'd look stunning.

Those 5 spoke in white.... might look decent....

Not to many details... like weight, and offset

In reply to AndreGT6:

Since your car and mine have the same bolt pattern, what is the offset your Minilites, and did you order them in the states, or from England? Since I'm about to put 26R flares on my car I can go with 15's and take advantage of the available tires without affecting the overall gearing, and the look should be similar to your car which I believe is right on. On a side note my car was originally the same color as yours. Called Medici Blue in the Lotus world, what's it called in Triumph land?
