Dave Rumens Vit in the Courier

Posted By : Ben Hutchings, 04-Mar-2006, 11:10pm

Hi, I've just been sat reading The Courier (309), and I'd like to know what wheels Dave has on his Red and White Vit on page 39. Not sure if he reads this board, couldnt find a contact email address for him in 'members cars'.
Can anyone else identify the wheels? I'd like to add them to my list here: http://www.sportssix.info/wheels.php

Hi Ben,
The Vitesse belongs to Mark Steinson:

The wheels look vaguely familiar, but can't think where I've seen them before. Think a personal message could be in order!

  Those wheels look identical to a set I put on a Viva years ago. The geezer I bought them off said they were BMW wheels and came off a BMW 1602 saloon. If Viva's have the same PCD as the Herald, this could be what they are.
  
  Steve.

    Not to sure where Mark got the wheels from, but I can contact him if you want.
    
    There is a contact email address in the Courier. There was the email addresses for all the reg secs on this site, not to sure where it has gone now.

      We don't publish members' email details as this is a sure way to attract unsolicited email. Instead we let every member keep their own email contact details up to date by way of their member profile. Click the member's name, then click "Send a Private Message". If a member hasn't got a member profile they either haven't got internet access or don't wish to be contacted via email.
      
      Hope that helps.

        Ah ok, thanks people. I miss-read that page and when I saw it say "...and myself in RFC" I didn't spot it was a quote by Mark.
        
        I'll try and make contact. It would be great if those wheels ARE from a 1602. I'm always looking for more wheel options as there are SO few nice aftermarket alloys for small chassis Triumphs...
        
        Wheel choices usually go like this:"shall I have minilites, mynylites, MiNiLiGHTs, Minators, Minimags, magyMins or some OTHER popular minilite ripoff... or maybe I should have Revs"

        As you mentioned Rev's,i've got a set of five polished 6 x 13 revolution alloys which i bought years ago,i didn't think they would fit a Vitesse without fouling the arches and bonnet,i will probably pt them in next months mag for sale.
