Just a question about those white wheels posted by Dshelton.
I've seen similar wheels on modified cars around here but never had a chance to examine them up close. How are they conected as no bolt patten is evident, the only fastener is a flimsy cotter pin. I've been curious if they have one big lug, like a race car, under that red cap, the curiosity grows every time I see them.

They're on my friends car... You get the standard 4 bolt pattern (or 5 bolt depending on car) behind the cap. The cap covers these and a pin keeps the cap on (unless someone steals it)...

Hope that helps... I'd take photos but his car is in the bodyshop after it met an armco...

oh

THanks Dom. THat makes alot of sense, I couldn't imagine having to replace your calipers also. Must be a tight squeeze beneath the cap, or larger than the photo lets on.

Yeah, the cap is quite large... you can just about see it's outline between the spokes - the white bit. The red bit goes on top of that and all is held in with pin and prayer
