The wheel I have has the '63' year code on it. Appears the early
Alpine wheels were updated with another road wheel with reinforced holes -
Thanks Rande Bellman for this information. So Tiger's had the reinforced
holes with the updated reinforced holes. Strike 2 on my 63 wheel, wrong
date and non reinforced holes, while just to be used as a spare, different 15"
wheels planned for on the ground, maybe should not matter. Anyone like
to trade a '63' wheel for a 66 wheel?</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>There is a theory the alpine and tiger wheels are different,
there I think was a change in wheel design by rootes where they added the
strengthening rib next to each lug hole, this may have been started due to
tigers, but became common to alpine and even other rootes cars.</DIV>

a Tiger's spare tire and rim, it might add a bit to the discussion.
Especially in relation to the tire types and rim color. I am a long
time owner of two Tigers (Mark II purchased in 1978 and Mark I in 1979).
However, in November of 2011 I purchased a '66 Series V Alpine (B395008497
OD LRX) from the original owner. The car has only 66,435 miles on it...
original paint, engine, interior, etc. It is a real survivor that has been
well cared for over the years. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

posting is regarding that car's spare tire. The original owner said he had
never used it... and that it was the original. I have posted photos,
below. I believe the tire is actually the original one... and it sure
looks unused based on the "nibs" (not sure what to call them) that are still
intact on the tire, etc. </SPAN><BR clear=none></DIV>

mentioned by others, it appears that the wheels were first painted black...
then the front side was painted the "Off White/ very light Grey" color... as
the "over-spray" is clearly visible on the backside of this spare. Also:
this tire has a wheel weight stamped with the Dunlop logo. This may support
the idea that it is original?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

clear=none><BR clear=none>I'm at work right now and do not have access to my
copy of TBON, but I seem to recall that the MkIIs had stock steel wheels
that were painted a silver color on both sides, while the Mk1 and Mk1A
wheels were painted black on the inside of the wheel and white on the
outside. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the correct color ID for the
outside wheel color was "Seafoam Gray," or something like that. I
contacted Tower Paint in Appleton, WI, years ago and gave them the
afore-mentioned name of the correct Rootes color and they were able to mix
me several cans of it to spray my wheels with. <BR clear=none><BR
clear=none>Jay was correct in his description of the spray method. The
wheels were evidently painted black and then the "Seafoam Gray" was applied
to the outside surface of the wheel with no effort by the factory to mask
off the inside surface. It is proper to have a little overspray come
through and land on the black surface of the inside of the wheel, so don't
worry about that. <BR clear=none><BR clear=none>Hope this helps,<BR

600x13”designation. What does 590 or 600x13translate to? Does
anyone have a picture of what the wheel and tire shouldbe from the front
with the 1” white sidewall and this ‘gray-white on the front’is suppose to
look like that they would share? I have some LAT wheels with the
markings on the inside of“SRC 1300, 5.5 X 1300, patent pending, ?celes
cali?” As measured from the inside of the lip, they are
5.5” wide. The steel wheel, chrome ring and cap that I have is 4.5”wide
from the inside of the lip but has no markings on it that I can find,inside
or outside. Should there be?Please see attached picture and tell me if
this is a correct Tiger MK 1A sparewheel or what this might have come off
of? I have had this wheel for so many years and no idea where I got
it. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. RegardsJoel Martin<BR
