[Tigers] LAT70 Wheels

[Douglas Lyle]

 I had a set of these wheels in 15 x 5.5 (4 x 130) for a dune buggy project I was working on.  I also have seen the same Hands type wheels in old hot rod magazines.

 I took my Tiger to a car show this past Saturday and a guy walked up and stared at my wheels for a long time.  He finally came over and asked me if they were "Dan Gurney" wheels.  He pulled out his phone and showed me a picture of his Porsche 914 that had a set of wheels that looked just like the LAT70s.  I thought that the only other car that had our HandS made wheels was the Corvair.  When I got home I pulled out my book of Norman and read up on the history of these wheels and it does say that Dan Gurney and some other companies made their own versions of this wheel later in the '60s and '70s.  From Googling around it looks like a lot of 914 guys are using this style of wheel.
I learn something new every day.
Have Fun,Joe Brown_______________________________________________
