Geko Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Oi, here is a good one submitted to your sagacity: Since my 5 yo got his die-cast of 5VC I'm also toying with the idea of finding the exact same replica wheels as fitted on CAG 408-410 with the same design (not being Minilite or approaching knockoffs). So far the closest I found is the Silvestone II Gunpowder metal. Any other thoughts? As always Edited May 23, 2015 by Geko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tr4Tony Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi I've got the real ones from this particular car, plus many others and a set of these new mk2's. These are VERY nice replicas and without the trouble of old hard used magnesium wheels, so for the money they are very good value in my opinion and very few people would ever know the difference.

Alec Pringle Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi Stef, take Tony's word for it - he probably knows more than anyone else about these wheels ! Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EdwinTiben Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 The "ARE's" look so much better than minilites ! I was fortunate to buy a nice set of original ARE's, they are great to drive ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gaz2trs Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Have a set just hanging on the wall in the garage waiting to go on my car one day hopefully Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do they make these in 6" suitable for a 6 ? always liked these wheels since I saw them on a Kas Kasner car in Rosi and Clarkes 'The Triumph TR companion' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
