I just happened across this pic on tinterweb.

I like thse wheels anyway, but barrelled into a split rim. NICE!

Would look epic on a certain Irmscher sprint kitted cabrio. :cool:

It's not. There's a guy that turns loads of one piece wheels into splits.
Check Retro Rides.

Fantastic! I guess most folk thought they were too good to be true as there was no info or credit to their maker.

[scott.parker]

Are they not just some carlton wheels?

[bazil]

Carlton CD or CDX I think,

My earlier post is wrong too they are 5x110
I was thinking about the monza wheels, I wanted monza gse wheels for my gte but doubt they will work as they are 5x120.

[Benn]

Ah i found a set i love from a Carlton, prob is they are et33... Or i'd have them on now!

[bazil]

If he makes up new barrels for the wheels and only uses the centre from the alloy donor then surley he can make the et to your spec?

[Benn]

Going by the pics on RR, he takes the front lip off only, then fits the polished lips...

[bazil]

Shame, that just increases the et then?

[Benn]

Edit that, might not. Looked at the pics again. Not sure, might message him...
