Can you identify these wheels?

Post by Wychall »

I may be showing my ignorance here but can anyone identify the wheels on my old 'bus. I would like to get another as spare but a bit difficult when I don't know what they are!

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Similar yes, but not the same, look at the legs which flange to the circumference of the wheel lip whereas the above don't.

See Orange arrows... (Plus the center caps cover the wheel nuts whereas above the center cap is in the middle of the 5 nuts.

Thanks for the suggestion Aidan. Finally got round to removing a wheel which has confirmed that they are NOT vag wheels. Tried Googling all the other numbers and drawn a massive blank so it looks like replacing the lot to get a spare!
Perhaps I will stay with a crabby steel spare.
