Does anyone recognise these wheels?

Post by jester1467 »

Merry Christmas to all!

Does anyone recognise these wheels? They are a 14" steel wheel that came with our syncro, trying to find a 15" steel wheel for off roading and would like some of the same if I could find out what they are?

I think they are pretty well the same thing but seem to be universally known as Mangles

Yes I know Weller Wheels well as I used them when I raced FVW and FF all those years ago. The pic is a Mangle wheel which was available for the T3 in Europe. They pop up on ebay.de every now and then but there are none there now. 14" only AFAIA

Thanks Paddy, settled for some 15" merc steels that we just picked up.
Means I can direct the "wheels" budget on something else :ok
