I think a Wolfie always looked good on a TR6 especially when using the wider 7”

Cosmics on my 3000E. These and Minilites were always my favourite alloy rims, plus 6x13 RS Alloys.

Gorgeous wheels, had them on several of my TR6s and one of my 3000E Capris.

Had them on my Scimitar and they were buggers to keep looking nice.
Had them on mine too! I think its what drew me to the car (it was really crap- bad as the wheels were- they were the best bit!!) I spent almost as much on autosol as I did on fuel

I think they are best left in the 70s, although they do suit the TVR in the photo.

When I was young and foolish I fitted a set of Cobra Supaslot wheels that looked much the same as Wolfies to my Fiat 125. rolleyes

I never liked Cosmic alloys, Revolutions were better, but my favourite style by far is Minilites.

Changed from Wolfrace to Appliance 5-Spokes on my Javelin, many years ago. Was waiting for next month’s pay packet to complete the transition in the pic smile

No.
As others have said, "of their time" but original "Wolfies" and all the myriad of copies were incredibly heavy for an "ali" wheel.
Were easy to clean though.

My association with Slot Mags is almost exclusively old guys who never left the 1970’s, slot mags on a Mk.3 Cortina & a bootlace tie.
So they have never been something I wanted.

That Peugeot 505 would look amazing on staggered Forge Turbos by the way.

The AC 3000ME was fitted with Wolfrace wheels as standard. A real cruise car, at 3000rpm this equaled 100mph. The Essex V6 engine was hardly ticking over at that speed.

My parents had original Wolf Race slot mags on a nearly new metallic green T reg Mini 1275GT. It also had the Wood & Pickett bull bars front and back. Oh and a massive Clarion component stereo and a car phone!

My first car was a scarlet P reg Imp Caledonian, which also had convex slot mags like the fronts on an S1 Esprit, but not sure they were authentic Wolf Race ones.

With me it's the other way round - having had loads of Minilites I'm a bit bored with them, but I like Revos (particularly the deep dished 6x10s) and Cosmics are my favourite. Two sets of Mk3s from the early '70s came my way a few years ago...
