You have to measure at the bead seat per this diagram, both the width and diameter. They're probably around a 13 x 5" wheel. The PCD is determined by measuring across the bolt holes, could be 4 x 3.75. As far as who made them, I'm not sure. They could be originals but there are new wheels available. http://www.leechapmanracing.com/wheels.html https://www.tonythompsonracing.co.uk/parts/other-car-parts/wheels-magnesium-wobbly-webs-for-lotus-222323b27-etc-fronts-5x13-each/

I've removed the heaters in my old Birkin and my Caterham. I've always felt that a heated motorcycle jacket did a much better job at keeping me warm. Did many miles in sub-freezing temps. My old Birkin was Zetec powered so had the exhaust next to the driver. With gloves the muffler turned out to be a convenient hand-warmer.

I think it'd be nice to see how they've adapted the engine output to the driveshaft.

The ad says it's a 1-liter Yamaha engine. I'm not familiar with m/c engines, but it looks like it could be from an R1. Like John, I've never seen a transverse m/c engine in a Seven.

I like the basics of this design, but was wondering how it would look if the profile of the car was reversed. Keep the 'USA7s' in the same orientation, but reverse the profile of the car so that 'USA' is on the hood/bonnet, the '7' is in the drivers seat, and the 's' is on the trunk/boot. @JohnCh - I'm not sure how to do graphic design, can you see what it would like it if it was reversed?

I think it would be a 5-speed not the 6-speed that is noted in the ad. Unless they rec'd the wrong gearknob with the 6-speed.

I think that engine is basically the same engine that was used in the original Fiat 124 Spiders.

I forgot to add that wide-track was only offered with cycle wings, not clamshells.
