Metro wheel replacement

Post by Ian Ellis »

Have recently bought a 1988 VdP automatic with (as I now discover) 315mm metric wheels.
Any suggestions for simplest way to change to a non-obsolete size? I would prefer to be able to re-use the nice VdP wheel discs.

Only common sizes and then not every size. I've met the owner so I know he's only going to invest in making sizes he's likely to sell quickly (and for a reasonable profit probably!).
"Bitza", my Austin A35, contains Metro parts ...
