  • 60's vintage? Delta Chromies with wire wheel look

    Hi,
    no idea of age of wheels, or info on manufacturer. No markings apart from "Delta" tag. Chrome, with 2x wire inserts one over the other and held together with a centre bolt. Would appreciate some/ any info on these from "back in the day"??? Q.

    Look like mid-1980's to me.

      Looks like something that would have been on an MG or similar kit car with a VW chassis.

        VW are generally 4 stud, or 5 stud with a very wide stud pattern (the rim without a centre); MG are 4 stud wheels, and their wire wheels are the real McCoy; forgot to mention mine are 15" rim, Stude/Ford stud pattern, currently taking a 9"tyre on my Hawk. I have discovered just now that Delta was offered on Aust. GM cars mid -80's here in Oz, so it appears they are Oz manufactured...and not a 60's product as I had thought.

          Many of the kit cars using VW chassis used wheel adapters to get the mag or wire wheels that were popular. I still have a partial set, (2) of VW to Ford/Stude pattern adapters.
