Wheel options - picture thread

[JohnCh]

@ProfGriff's thread on his incoming Revolution wheels got me thinking it might be helpful to have a thread showing pictures of the various wheels people are running on their cars to give others upgrade ideas.  Photos that show the wheel on the car are preferred. Repeats are fine as long as it's not an exact duplicate.  i..e either the wheel diameter, wheel color, se7en brand/model or car color should be different to ensure some level of variety.

 

The first photo shows 14" Two Gates wheels, the second are silver 13" Caterham wheels from 2009.  I'm sure someone here can add more details on this wheel, either the model name or the years they were offered by the factory.

Good idea John. This picture is the Caterham 15" Orcus wheels in Anthracite, the car is a 2020 Caterham 420R

Enkei 15x7" RPF1's on my old Birkin. Really nice wheels, under 10 lbs.

Here's my 2001 Birkin on 15x7 Enkei RP-O1s from around 2002, 15x7 Panasports, and 7x13f 8x13r Kodiaks....

13in SLR wheels

 

 

As a warning for others, 15in 10 spoke wheels could fit strange under your fenders and you could have similar fit issues as me

 

 

 

Here's how 13's fit

This is timely. I received 3 of these wheels with my Caterham and was hoping to find out more about them, possibly even procure a fourth. They're steel, labeled "Weller Racing". 13" x 5-1/2". 

 

 

[11Budlite]

WDB - I think those Weller wheels are a popular steel wheel from the UK. Should be easy to pick up a 4th wheel. Do you know the PCD?

Stamping: 4 (lug) 95 (95mm/ 3.75" pcd) ET (offset) 12 (mm)

Try Triumph forum classifieds.

 

Standard spitfire 13x4.5 can be "rehooped" with new rims in whatever size, width, and offset. Ministock generally does not come in that bcd/pcd but probably could be ordered but again, would not match the oval holes of the three you have.

 

Larger 7/16-20 studs can also be fitted to the original 3/8 stud holes in the hubs without modification.

Mike Barnby wheels (3-piece), with black centers.  I had them apart recently for crack testing the mag centers, and the full wheel assemblies came in at 3.2 kg (7 lbs) for the 13 x 6-1/2 front and 3.8 kg (8.4 lbs) for the 13 x 8-1/2 at the rear.

Those style of wheels were used on the first iteration of the Caterham 7 160.  They are much narrower than the standard Caterham wheel.  14x4.5 dimensions so different.  Not sure if Weller made the Caterham versions but they are similarly styled.

 

[Croc]

The latest version of Caterham 170 has this big spoke wheel.  Same dimensions as the Weller wheel posted above by WDB.

They were the Caterham Orcus wheels.  Offerred from around 2007 to 2014-15 area in both 13 inch and 15 inch sizing.  Widths were a 6 inch for fronts and lower hp rears plus a wider 8 inch rear for the higher hp cars.

 

Finishes were a dark gray plus the lighter silver in the photo quoted.  

 

Once thing to note with the Orcus wheels is that there were two types - one where the spokes came out and extruded over the rim (look at Kayentaskier's lime green car photo early on this thread) and the other where the spokes were recessed behind the rim (like John's red Westfield above and my CSR below).

Caterham 16x7  "Wagon Wheels".  Standard wheel fitment in the 2001-2005 area.  They weigh a ton.

The Caterham Orcus wheels were also done in 15x7 and 15x9 with a CSR offset - they milled the hub down off standard wheels.  Shown here in charcoal finish - the only finish available on CSRs.  Done from 2005 to around 2015.

 

[Croc]

I also use a set of BBS 13x7 and 13x9 wheels on my Caterham CSR.  Three part wheels.  Outer chrome finish with the inner a charcoal powdercoat.   I modified my CSR to be able to take 13 inch wheels - they do not as standard.  

 

 

 

 

CatKong is getting the same wheels but with a gold finish center and the chrome outer rim.  

 

 

 

[Croc]

CatKong shipped in 2019 with the Orcus wheels - 15x7 fronts and 15x9 rears.  Identical to my 2010 Caterham CSR Orcus wheels.  

 

I am guessing that because CSRs were so few after it went off catalog, they did not bother to update the wheel design to something newer until just recently.  

 

 

 

 

[Croc]

The standard chassis Caterham ran with the Apollo wheels from 2015 up until recently.  Two finishes - diamond cut outer rim with black inner and then an all polished silver look.

 

 

 

 

The all silver finish looks like this.

 

 

Can still be bought new from Caterham off their parts website.

8 spoke and 10 spoke have different offsets even for same 6.5in wide rim? News to me. Might be a solution to my fitment dilemma.
