Wheels question
Discussion
Hi folks,
Couple of questions on the original wheels on the 2.5 and 3 (not 3R) cars:
1) Noble says they are 8.5" wide (front) and 10" wide (rear). I measured mine from outer edge to outer edge and they are 1" wider: 9.5 and 11. Standard dimension tyres are fitted (225 front and 265 rear) and they don't look "stretched". Is this normal? Am I measuring in the wrong way? Has anyone ever measured their wheels?
2) one of the rear rims is damaged. I may need to look for a replacement. Am I right that these wheels are no longer produced and therefore hard to find? What would you reckon will one (probably used) rear rim cost?
Alternatively I might choose to sell the other three and get myself some Compomotive Wheels, so question is what I could get for the three.
Thanks for some thoughts on the above questions which will make it easier for me to take the right decisions now and get replacements that are the same size than my wheels today.
Thanks, Leo
