Can anybody help me...?! I would like to fit some period alloy wheels to my Rover P6...  I think it would look good on a set of Dunlop alloy wheels but I would like to see some pictures of Dunlop alloys so I know which ones would look best... Any images would be hugely appreciated... |

Slotmags would look good but I do not think they would be in keeping with the character of the P6 (they look ace on a Reliant Scimitar though!)... I'm either going to go down the RoStyle route (from a Rover P5B) or try and find a set of Cosmic or Dunlop alloys... |

familybanger! Are you saying I'm an old git?
It'll come to you one day, LOL!
Should have a wide choice, doesn't the Rover share the Chevy stud pattern?

I remember seeing that the Dunlops have been repopped by Midlands or summat perhaps? You may get a decent tirepkg via that route, if I am correctly remembering that bit of data. I agree it is "right" on that Pee Sicks, we're synched on the same taste in alloys it seems. Norm
