I just bought this old beauty:



Looking for a 5th wolf wheel, genuine oem rather than a pattern part and I'd prefer a proper ex-mod olive drab wheel if possible.

I've checked withams/jacksons etc but with no luck, anyone know a good source of mod surplus parts?

IIRC - The 'Wolf' rim is also fitted to the 130. Get one & just attack with a can of drab olive & paintbrush.

Yes.
Or buy a set and put the other four back on eBay for all the other people in the same boat. Chances are your own spare will end up paid for by the others.

I wasn't aware anyone produced a pattern part Wolf Wheel?

Obviously there are lots of steel wheel manufacturers, Weller etc, but not of a Wolf.

As CFK says - Ebay is your friend, or try Blanchards or MOD Sales.

Yes indeed. Most of the wolf wheels on ebay are pattern parts...although there are a couple of sets of genuine civvie wolf wheels. Paddocks/Craddocks etc sell Britpart wolf take-offs for ~£50.

linky

The feller I bought the 110 from is going to take a spare wolf and XZL from one of his other vehicles that he has for sale and send it up to me so all sorted now.

I'm confused (it happens).
What's a "civvie Wolf wheel", and if it's a genuine take-off Wolf item isn't it highly unlikely to be Britpart?

Wolf wheels are available as oem on civvie spec 130's. these are available from LR at something like £100 each in primer.

They would be fine (I would just need to paint them).


Most of the wolf-like wheels available on ebay/paddocks/craddocks etc etc are Britpart or AN Other pattern wheels.

I've managed to get hold of one with a few XZL tyres. Some genuine ex-mod ones appeared on eBay today for £25 each.

P.s. Take-Off in that context means a copy.
