Dunlop Wheels?

[mhibbs]

Is this a Dunlop wheel? If so, does anyone have one they're looking to get rid of, or know somewhere where you can get them? I destroyed one of mine in an accident and need to replace it. Worst case I know I can order a new set from Weller but I'd like to just replace the one that is bent if possible.

thanks!

They are around. usually as rains for club ford. I sold about 4 sets to JR Mitchell of GMT Racing in Danbury CT. Double check your back space before buying any. I am not sure why but some were different.

They do have a Dunlop stamp on them. I think the are 13 X 5.5 J rims or something. Triumph had them on the spitfire, but 4.5. Welding a triumph into a 5.5 rim can be done, but I am 90% sure the real dunlops were a thicker material than the spits. They should be crack tested as running them since 67 with sticky slicks stressed a lot of them.

Mitch-- send me an email at fspilot at msn.com-- I have a friend who has 3 of them, he bent one in a shunt and replaced them with Wellers-- I'll put the two of you in touch.
