Hope you have not been on the edge of your seats since my leaving you hanging on promise of a perished wheelbarrow tyre! (slipped my mind)

From the picture of the day thread, via James Boys toys thread, here's a close up of the Aston's wire wheel:

And back to full size wheels, here's an interesting alloy that came up on Facebook marketplace:

Terrible description ( along the lines of "four stud" as though PCD, centre bore, offset are irrelevant!!) So no idea what they are off or fit.

There were two chaps with leaf blowers blowing all the under hedge crap out all over the road, I drove across it and a couple of minutes later felt the phantom vibration which told me to stop as soon as I could. Unfortunately I was in a narrow lane and had to go 600m or so before I could stop and investigate. Pretty clear what happened driving that far on a rough road with a very deflated tyre!! :-D

The first pepperpots I ever came across, and part of a great "dressing up" job on a sporty hatch. The full thing in all its glory was not just outstanding in a carpark of anonymity, a headturner for all who saw it, but for me a turn round go back and take some photos of it.

No, sort of-ish and that's the original (dirty) colour.

I thought that that was the back of the wheel until I just spotter the valve.
