Where do I get a decent cap for these wheels and how are they secured?

They look like the type of wheels that use a small domed cap that snaps into the centre of the wheel rather than over it. One of the Hot Rod companies such as Speedway motors probably have them.

What manufacturer.
Be careful. I spent dollars on some old OEM Plymouth dishes for my wheel vintiques and lost one in half an hour despite ensuring they fitted ok.
Got 3 sad ones sat in a box now :cry:

15x10 seem to only be available with a 5.5" BS which is too much for me

Give them a call, they'll do a custom BS for you on that wheel.

Look on Summit. I'm sure they do 15x6 15x7 15x8 plus the 15x10 as an off the shelf size. Over and above asAdrian said they will do custom size and BS.

I spoke to Northants and they told me custom BS not available?

Might just be lazy

Will try summit

You can ring Wheel Vintqiues direct, that's what I did when having a chat to them about a custom BS. You're after the 63 series:

http://www.wheelvintiques.com/index.php ... eries.html

They are only available in one bolt circle which is 5 x 4.5"

I don't know how you're planning on brining them over but if it's by air I'd suggest giving Mark@WASP a call as he sourced mine. I have the series 63 as well but a standard BS. He may also be able to advise how to go with the custom BS on these wheels.

I'd deal with WASP every time, I've had nothing but bad service from North Hants, they are a bunch of couldn't care less messers. 3 months to get me the wrong wheels and another 3 months not to sort it out properly..

With the car sat low, can you fit 15 x10 ok?
I only ask as I fitted a pair to my 73 RR which has big arches and one side rubbed slightly with 295 tyres. Probably cos the axle was not centred as they rarely are.
