I had a set of 13" JAP Magna wheels that came on my Europa (Spitfire pattern).
In that 3.75" bolt pattern, the holes were a bit too close to the big
countersink on the back side of the wheel. All of these wheels were cracked
from the bolt holes to the center hole. Even so, a Lotus guy in California
jumped at them when I told him I wanted 100 bucks each, just to get him to stop
asking. Since I think they are magnesium, I don't know who he will get to
repair them. I was very clear that the wheels were being sold not to be driven
on without repair.
I expect these in the TR size (4.5") to be a lot stronger in that regard. I
also think they might fit 240Z cars.
In any case, they are gorgeous, beautifully period, and could be a real
bargain. I'd snap them up myself, but Sue insists upon wire wheels for her TR4.
