Saw this picture of a Manta and it's got me thinking about getting a set of wheels for mine!!
So does anyone know what these are, I can't think at the minute, but I reckon I'll kick myself when someone tells me!!!!

They look a bit like Azev A's, but that's not them!! Tried google images for all kinds of Azev and Borbet wheels but have had no luck finding them!!!!

I know, I think that is one of the nicest Manta Hatches I've seen, so simple, but so right!!

Think I'll have to copy it!!!!!lol

Aye, close to Azev A's but deffo not them. I'd say maybe a STIL AUTO variant of that kind of wheel, good luck finding something as A, thats a retro design from mid - late 90's & B, if you did find some, likelihood of them being close to et49 is minimal tbh.

deffo NOT Azev A's (they are spokes flat with the rim...)

Muntas run ET32ish... ie stick out miles from a nova arch lol. You "could" get the wheels machined but its not the best route to take.

My point exactly.... unless you are putting them on a Manta, but asking on a Nova forum isnt a great source of Manta info tbh.

Sorry they are going on a Manta!

Just thought I'd ask here as it's not really a Manta specific question though and someone might just recognise the wheels................

Aye, I thought Azev/Borbet for a mo but not quite the same.

Look a little bit like Mistrals, but the spoke meets the rim differently.

Might have to give them a googling when I get home. They are rather nice!
