I have a set of Dunlop 13" aluminum wheels on my Tiger. I've been told that
the wheels were never offered for sale in the US, but I have seen them on
another car at SUNI 2. Norm said he had a set at one time also. I like the
wheels, and they fit the age of the car. They have a series of radial
fins/spokes and a machined area at the rim. The center caps are chrome
plated with the Dunlop logo in the center. My problem is that there are 3
different types of lug nuts on the car. The original ones have a narrow
shank that fits through the hole in the wheel, and a pressed/swaged on (but
movable) shoulder. Anybody have any experience with these wheels, and
possibly a source for the lug nuts? I'd also like to find out what the
original inset color should be. Mine are gunmetal grey, the ones I saw at
SUNI were black, and Norm said his were natural.
Thanks,
Joe
