My friends had a set of Minilite copies on their 350 BHP TVR racecar. Basically
they didn't fit...
They bought a new set of wheels and Cambridge Motorsports made up some
aluminium spigots to fit into the wheel and onto the hub to locate the wheel.
Now they fit, they centre OK and they don't seem to run out at all
I think we could all expect that as a minimum, but it seems there are no
guarantees, and that's particularly true when we're talking about older cars...
