Vixen Wheels

[Popzak]

Can anyone tell me what type of wheels these are?

Thank You

Look like Wolfrace slot mags to me.

[Popzak]

Where can I buy them? I'm in USA...

[GAjon]

I think Wolfrace themselves are long gone.
In the UK I have used a company called Image wheels to make replacements of my Compomotive three piece slot mags.
I would guess there will be company's in the U.S. that offer a similar service.

Second hand may be an option, I think Triumph fitted these style to some of their TR cars.

Thank You...

Did Cobra do a similar slot alloy?

Possibly Cobra, but the slots look more rectangular, like Wolfrace, whereas the on the Cobra ones the slots are more oval.

The outcome is the same, the original companies have ceased trading, although there is a newer Wolfrace wheel company trading.

I would agree with John. Back in the day you could buy Wolfrace, Cobra Slots (slightly oval slots), Appliance Slot Mags or Shelby Cal 500 wheels. All were a similar style. Today there is a similar slot alloy made by Ansen in the US which is also available in 16 and 17 inch diameters. Image wheels in the UK also do a 3 piece slot mag.
Hope this helps.

More information on slots than you can shake a stick at...lol, every home should have one car with a set of slots on.
Ours is a 3000S.

Not forgetting my others with 15" Compomotive ML, 16"Compomotive CX, Gemini 15" and 14" TVR T slots.

Are you suggesting we have some wheel nerds in our midst?

I need to talk to you re wiring looms for my car.

Chris, my thoughts are that they are Cobra rather than Wolfrace, (it would be rare that you cannot see either of the Wolfrace logo's in the edge of the rim).

Don't they have Wolfrace on the centre caps?

They look really good.



Going for these on mine.

[timelord]

Had Revolutions on my M since the early 80's, got Compomotive MLs on the Vixen and a pile of TVR finned alloys in the back of the garage!
