Triumph G. I. Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I recently purchased a TR and it came with a set of "I an not sure" what they are wheels. I have received many suggestions of what they may be. I think they are a set of Moss Motor Minilites but not sure. I will try to get a photo uploaded but until then if someone has the time to go to Zappa Racing and click under cars for sale. Thumb down until you see a white TR with a sold sign on it. After there go through the slide show and view the wheels. I appreciate anyone that can take a moment to help. Thanks, Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph G. I. Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Mick, It says Panasport in the description but they are not Panasports as I am finding out. Also, thank you so much for taking the time to hunt them down! Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Rich The photo shows they're made by SCP one of the manufacturers of Minilite replicas. They're at http://www.scp-uk.com/ The size and offset should be cast in somewhere, possibly on the inside. Edited November 9, 2015 by peejay4A Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Here's the car, to help those looking for a link. http://www.zapparacing.com/#!1968-triumph-tr250/c12ue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph G. I. Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks Pete and Don as I believe you are exactly right as the wheels have SCP stamped on them. I will try to figure out what I should try to sell them, along with the tires, so that it is a fair price. I can not thank you folks for sending the links and research. I am the Commander of the American Legion in our area so if you ever have a need to be in this area the beer is on me! Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Here's that wheel from the Revolution/SCP site; http://www.revolutionwheels.com/wheels/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph G. I. Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 That gives me a good start as it looks like they would sell for $180.00 a piece brand new. Maybe $100-$120 would be a fair price for the wheels and I was thinking about $80/$85 a piece for the tires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 They are the wrong offset so repo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph G. I. Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Neil I am not a expert regarding these wheels so what does that mean? Offset or repo's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Offset is a standard term for the difference between the mounting flange plane and the wheel rim center line plane -- a bit of Googling will turn up thousands of references.. By repo Neil means reproduction, not original Minilite, I'm guessing . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 They are the wrong offset so repo. Are you able to tell that the offset is wrong just by looking Neil? If so, how on earth do you do that? Cheers, Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Triumph G. I. Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I would like to thank everyone for their time and help and I just posted them in our club newsletter and will sell them at the best reasonable offer. If I get an 800/900 offer I will let them go and move on! Rich Edited November 10, 2015 by Triumph G. I. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Experience Darren Well, it beats me Neil. You must be using the "force" as well . Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph G. I. Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thank everyone again for your help. Anyone live near Bletchley Park? We are vacationing at Bletchley Park next year and would be honored to bring a gift from our stomping grounds to yours. Date is to be determined! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peejay4A Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Rich, I'm a volunteer guide at the National Museum of Computing on Bletchley Park which picks up the code breaking story from Enigma (on the main BP site) through our Colossus rebuild and follows the evolution of computing up to the 2000s. PM me if you'd like a tour. P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
