1A Tiger. 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

tigers, but became common to alpine and even other rootes cars.</DIV>

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>

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>

Fwd: MKI original spare tire (Gary Winblad)<BR clear=none>Joel:<BR
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

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

many years and no idea where I got it. Thanks again for sharing your
