Hi Matt,
These rims look very much like wolf race wheels.

i concur,

Wolfrace slotmags as fitted to reliant scimitars and other fine sportscars in the seventies. now discontinued...

[Matt22]

So I suppose I could look in detail on the back side of the rim
and it might say something of that sort, or is there really any
way to be sure what they are.  Next are they a good rim to have.
Obviously they are the right bolt pattern for rx2 to 1st gen rx7,
Thanks  for your help guys.  Lates  Matt22

i\'ve a;lways thought they wer pretty cool and will be getting a set for my triumph. they were good wheels at the time but there are almost certainly better new ones around. i think they may be magnesium so they could be porus by now, depending on your luck, and dont have them powder coated. putting mag alloy in an oven is a bad idea.

I guess if you like the look of them you should use them.. they would certainly not look out of place on any 70s to 80s car.

just inspect them carefully before you use them.

cheers

im not sure if its the size u want but my uncle has these on his TR6 and i think he wants to change them. im sure if you made him an offer he would do a deal:)

think the tr6\'s wheels are bigger than the vitesse,

thanks for the offer though, still not sure what i\'m doing about brakes yet so don\'t want to buy wheels until i know.

cheers
