What are these wheels

Post by Olderisbetter »

Just looking through the readers rides section and spotted a picture and wondered what the wheels on this users T25 are called?

They are T2 wheels with an ET (offset) of 20 mm which is not suitable for T3s..
The weight rating is also questionable.

Think they where marked 670kg

They worked fine but not my cup of tea as they look like bay window wheels
