That makes the almost period correct, no?

Cosmic wheels are correctly period for Triumphs.
I had a set of Mk.2's on my Herald.
Those are the most commonly found.
They were current 1969-73
They are also found on Mini's (smaller) and TR's (larger)
also Lotus etc etc...
They also happen to be very high quality castings, made of LM.25 Alloy
I think the alloy has a magnesium content, as they are very light at 11.4 lb
on my Herald.
I have now sold that car and those wheels with it.
Shame.
They were the best wheels that I have ever had.
Keep on rolling
Leon
