Genuine Stag Alloys,how do you tell??

There's nothing strange about errors in the parts book, or ROM, for that matter

I think we should start compiling a list of all the mistakes

Cheers

If you guys find anything - post it my way and I will add it to the database that is driving my parts website. www.parts.stagwiki.com - still not complete, but it is getting there! Data entry is the most boring thing ever! It is one of my 'winter jobs' and I am on my third winter now!

I have new aftermarket copies - about two years old now. The valve is adjacent to the spokes as per the originals.

Déjà vu !

........As I mentioned earlier, I'm sure someone posted here some while back that there are new aftermarket wheels which now have the valve next to a spoke

OK. That's how I thought it should be, with the valve next to a spoke. Strange that the parts book illustrstes it incorrectly! As I mentione earlier, I'm sure someone posted here some while back that there are new aftermarket wheels which now have the valve next to a spoke

Does any one know where I can get some new wheels from?

not thought about it yet lol, but a big point will be if the old girl passes the MOT on saturday, cant see a problem as its only done 6 miles from last years MOT and that was to the station and back.

Just checked my alloys and the holes line up with the spoke but they're not really Stag alloys as they came off a big Triumph saloon. Also I was wrong the GKN logo is on the inner hub not the spoke.

Not sure why the 2500S and Stag alloys would be different ; 1975 2000/2500 Parts Catalog and 1978 Stag Part Catalog both use same part no 313250

Urban Myth I think Nick. As you say, they were the same. But there was a period where some were made differently. Whether these are 'genuine' GKN or not I don't know - I can't recall seeing any. Certainly the similar looking Australian 'Challenger' wheels have the valve hole between the spokes
