No pics available but for my taste the newer cast wheels most often look too heavy on our cars. Much prefer the steel wheels.

Hi
I have a restored set of very rare Cosmics that suitable for a Amazon.
Pic of the wheel design

The are genuine wheels, not copies. They have been restored and the centre caps( not available now ) have been made on the cnc at work. The logo is engraved and then enamal filled.
Here they are on my 1800

Here they are on an Amazon.

Pretty rare wheel and as classic as a classic thing.
Decide, after the BKV that wide steels are for me.
You could make me an offer for the four

Don't suppose your company could offer that as a service could they?
I, too have a set of these original wheels and I'm stuck trying to make centre caps for them.
There's loads of enamelers who can make me a round badge but I've got no idea how to secure it.
