i dunno whether it's worth trying ML motorsport? i think i remember reading an old miniworld from the mid-nineties, and it mentioned the launch of the MB Racing split rim wheels, which they still sell, and i think it said the bloke who makes them used to work at spectrum?? also, mite be worth trying to contact some miglia racers, i think some of them use spectrums?

[Retro_10s]

oh and expect a long wait for them.... someone on here has a set i'm sure....

[andywaller]

i have the MB splits from MLMotorsport, i dont think spectrum exist anymore.

i think minispeed bought the rights to the design and now make a simular wheel. the one retro 10's posted above.

yeah, minispeed sell a very similar, if not the same style wheel....

Sadly spectrum wheels are no longer avalible. I bought some outer rims last year and was told that all they had was some old stock and when that was gone no more where to be made. But here is a pic of mines anyway

holy thread revival
just found out today at work that one of our managers has been left quite a few mini spares unfortunately his grandad has recently passed away so today he mentioned some items he will be picking up.i know he has a set of spectrum alloys which he believes are 10x7s can anyone shed any light on if these were made?

When measuring the rim width you actually measure from the inner lip to inner lip. If you do the outer lip to outer lip it is always an inch over, as the lip is about a half inch thick.
