These arrived while I was away,after trying in South Africa to locate genuine alloy rims and finding either really silly prices and or what were obvious scam offers we went to a recognised retail outlet in the UK and bought the genuine product,ready fitted with tyres and also balanced.
The rims will be fitted to the race Hillman Imp (singer chamois sport) thats about to be assembled,special care needs taking with the front rims to keep the rubber flat on the tarmac,a light anti roll bar will be needed/
The rims offset is special to the Hillman Imp range,the rim size is 13" and the width is 6",or 2" wider than a Mk 1 Hillman Imp,later to be a standard 4.5" wide but always on a 12" diameter,with the tyres being a series 50R 13 size we will get the lower gear ratios we were looking for.
The alloy rim with its center hub cap and wheel nuts,with a very high quality finish.
The quality is outstanding,so was the service from the suppliers,we used an export express option on delivery,very reasonable fee at 210 Pounds Sterling only.

Special Yokohama rubber,this K6271 72v A048 type is not available in South Africa,so we had to import,using our import licence,paying the duty and vat in the process.
