Default Alloy Wheel Identification - 06-17-2006 , 05:25 PM






Can anyone tell me what this pattern of wheel would have been fitted to
originally?

http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/7789/image0142dc.jpg

The only markings I can make out on it are 'MOMO' and the size, 13" x
5,50"
I also have one with the same pattern and markings, but the size is 13"
x 6,00"

Many Thanks,

Mark

Looks very similar to a dolomite sprint wheel, I have 4 on my tr7v8.

Thanks Badger.
Similar, but not the same.

Picture towards bottom of page.

Relationship of holes to spokes is different.
Still searching

Although they look like Triumph wheels ( as previous reply) MOMO make
after market road wheels to the fashion of the day and there styles
change consistently.

What you will have to do is measure the bolt pattern. One thing that I
have noticed is they have a, steel bevel, wheel nut insert. (Triumph don't)


I would look more to the Fiat or Italian cars.

Can't quote numbers, but they fit Ford Hubs.

Agree.

Aftermarket.

Certainly not Dolly Sprint.

I think there might be a clue in the centre cap in the wheel. It seems to
contain an oval badge, with the last vestiges of blue paint clinging around
a sort-of-script word - a fairly short word, about four letters... I wonder
what it might be...

I know that, and I know what it came from is not ford, although has
ford bits. (actually its a Gilbern Invader Mk 3

I was just wondering what the source vehicle might be, in order to see
if i could aquire a spare set

I think we're all agreed that they're aftermarket.
