Not too sure who these are made by, they are made in england, so could be compomotive. The tyres have got loads of tread on them. £70, collection from surrey preffered, but I can post.   |

They were BWA Sportstars, by the way Er, sorry... beg to differ.... They are Midland Metallic rims. They were fitted to the Hartwell Imps like this one (car sadly no longer looks like this - last time I saw it was when I put it in the barn in 1992):  Obviously, the Imps had a 12in rim unlike these. The BWA rim had a more curved spoke and was more common (especially on Fords). There was a similar design marketed by Firestone, but made by GKN in Strood, Kent - this had 5-spokes and was uber rare. Midland Metallic also made these rims, called the Supanova which are, again, uber rare and very light. I've only ever seen them in a 12in size though...  <1970s Imp Wheel Anorak off>  |

1964 Hillman Imp
1976 Hillman Imp
1967 Hillman Imp
(And a few projects dotted around the country)
Just cos something is good for you doesn't mean its good for everyone - for example Marmite does not make good Dog Food.
