Re: Steel wheel restoration

Firstly, my apologies for suggesting the wheel rims are a different size on S4s and Sprints. It`s the tyres that are wider, of course.
Re. MWS it would be great if someone local to Slough could pop in with their spare wheel and ask, anyone?
I`m still trying to find someone locally to true up mine, though not an engineer I can`t see that it`s a difficult job with the right equipment.
Next, is it not possible to replace the rims entirely, re-riveting and welding back in the original centres?
Finally, looking at the various costs, new wheels from the Elan Factory look an increasingly viable proposition.
Isn`t anyone else interested? We don`t need that many.
