Taber10 Posted April 21 Posted April 21 I got a pair of Wobbly Wheels, as made famous by Lotus in the 60s. I don't know how to measure them, but they are smaller than the 14 X 6J wheels that came on my Caterham. Only marking is "Ce" on the inside. I am hoping that someone can tell me something about these wheels--at least where to measure them to get the right size. Thanks in advance. Taber
11Budlite Posted April 21 Posted April 21 (edited) 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/ Edited April 21 by 11Budlite 1
panamericano Posted April 21 Posted April 21 If these are original, magnesium, be very careful with them. I had an original explode once, sitting still, minimal psi, on a Formula Jr. For use, new ones would be better. They are available in mag or alum. 2 1 1
