getting a set of 18" rims that are 10" wide is not as easy as it seems !

I love the style they fit to the Le Mans cars - but don't think they are available without the single centre fastener

looks like compomotives may be the answer

There are loads of 10 inch wide 18" rims available, problem you have is the 4 stud pattern...

Hi Alex - any news on weights?
These are the wheels Pinnacle has on his car got from CCW in Florida. Salica also do something similar (as do Image). Even with the current exchange rate, shipping, import duty and VAT still works out cheaper (a bit) to buy from the US. Just need to make sure they're not made of lead.

Rob, sent you a pm a couple of days ago.

Response from CCW as follows:

Alex,
18x8.5 will be approx 18lbs and the 18x10 closer to 20 lbs

Cheers Alex - never got that. Must be lost in the ethers. Weights don't seem too bad (8.2 kg and 9.1kg - slightly lighter than standard 3R set?)Just phoned Image but they're away till 29 Sept - Cast HTs and Billet 26/27s don't look too bad. I'll find out weights and see if they're amenable to a bulk order. Stock prices work out similar to the CCWs.

I would also like a pair. Trevor told me mine were warped when it was on the rollers.

I will call Simon on Monday.

Thanks for setting this up.
