Spitfire FIA homologation sheet No. 165 (1964) has amendment which
specifies 5.5" wheels as an optional equipment and gives a part number:
307400. This amendment is dated 1/2/1965.
It doesn't say if they are cast or pressed.
The basic homologation specifies 3.5" or 4.5" rim width and there is an
option which says: "Light alloy road wheels - 4 1/2 rim (114.1 mm) x 13"
- weight 3.6 kgs". No part No. however
