Need bolt on wire wheel conversion parts

L

lvc2jag

I am new and I am trying to find a bolt on conversion for a 4.25 bolt pattern to wire wheels. Anyone know a source or have the parts to bolt on the adapters and put a wire wheel on.
Thanks in advance.

British Wire Wheel Company in California carries the bolt on adapters for the rear wheels, but on the front you actually have to switch hubs. They also have the splined front hubs in stock. I bought mine from them and used them on my car. They are excellent quality and the owner is very helpful.

How did I do with my grammar and punctuation Nick?;)

Actually I do have a set of adaptors.They bolt on to the existing Sunbeam hub.They are coarse thread and have 2 ear spinners
If you are interested I will go dig them out.Also have 4 14 inch wire wheels that will fit.The adaptors were made using a MG hub.Wheels are MG
Will sell very reasonable.Shipping may not be as reasonable
I think I also have the proper hubs for wire wheels up to I think the series 4 as series 5 rear hubs are a bit different.Ihave 13 inch wheels as well but need to check condition

Swap the other way

I'm looking at swapping from wires to alloy. Is there a kit for that for the front? I'd be using a Mustang Rear Axle so I'm not worried about the rears.

No kit that I'm aware of, you have to just find the bolt on hubs used. But at least fronts from any series Alpine will do since they're the same and you don't need to worry which side they cam off of since they're not handed like wire wheel hubs.
