What wheels have I got?

[ChrisLD364]

Not sure what my wheels are. I'm looking to buy the centre inserts but there seem to be 2 types.

Can anyone identify which type of wheels I've got please?

Thanks

I'm afraid that I don't know Chris (although they look like GKN stag alloys to this untrained eye) but whatever they are they must be very special to make your car to stick on the ceiling in your avatar

Hi Chris,

Those wheels are of the round type.

Hi Chris,

They are the original Stag GKN alloys that have been repainted in silver.

also, look like normal stag wheels painted silver to me

[Bob Heritage]

Yes , standard Stag alloys.

Whereas your cars seem to have two engines each. Greedy!

Goes well lik ethat but a bugger to balance the carbs.....

At the risk of starting an old discussion - they might be non-GKN replicas. Four of my wheels are GKN and the valves emerge by one of the holes, not the spokes. My spare is not a GKN wheel but its valve is by a spoke.

Hi Mark,

I have been polishing my wheels so have become quite intimate with them . They are all GKN wheels and have the GKN logo in the position I hav circled on Chris' photo:

All mine have the valve coinciding with a spoke, as per this picture, above.

Dave et al,

Just been and had a really good look at mine - there's no sodding "G" on any of the four wheels, just "KN". I feel deprived

I know I have odd wheels. I damaged a wheel some time ago and got a replacement. I now have Stag GKN wheels but some have quite rounded edges to the rims and others have sharp edges as posted by by Chris.

Wow guys - thanks for the responses. I've had bad day but I'm now laughing.

As for the Avatar then I'm left handed and took the photo with an iPhone. It's the right way up on that but without editing it it up side down on the site. I could amend it but thought it was worth the laugh to leave it - and so it was.

I'll get the standard inserts.

The bad news is that I had the Stag on a ramp today and am amazed the passenger seat hasn't fallen through such is the bad welding that the seller has had done. Never mind - no one said Stag ownership would be cheap!

At one time the Stag specialists were selling reconditioned wheels that had had all the faces re-cut on a lathe. Maybe yours that don't have the rounded edge are reconditioned ones?

Thanks for everyone's help here. I'll now close this thread off.
