Hi,
I have obtained some 19 inch wire wheels(I suspect Jaguar) with the 52mm 88 spline hubs. I currently have the smaller 42mm 6 stud hubs on the car. Is there a 6 stud 52 mm hub on the market or would it have to be made.

As an alternative, Torrino wheels are pretty versatile with this kind of thing i think

Also, try Phil at P J Hallewell Engineering. He's currently refurbishing a set of Borrani wires for me and seems to have all the old-school tools necessary to help you out.

Good value to as he's not VAT registered thumbup

Hi,
I follow your updates with interest, as I'm working on a similar project. (Based on a Bentley Mk6 chassis).
On my car I've decided to use 18' wheels with 52mm Jaguar (short) hubs. These fit inside the wings that I use, whereas the 20' wheels that i bought previously don't fit.
This means that i have surplus to requirements, a set of 20' wheels with old tyres, matching 52mm long hubs and locking caps (hub nuts).
Would this be of any use to you?
A machine shop can easily turn the hubs into bolt-on hubs to match your bolt pattern.
I bought them cheap, not looking to make a profit.
PM me when interested.

BTW: when you go looking for other wheels and/or hubs, keep in mind that all sizes of rudge-whitworth hubs come in a long and a short version, so you'll need matching wheels and hubs.
