Default Wheel Size

Does anybody know what these wheels will fit?

The size is 5x12x19 mmIN stamped on the rim.

PCD = 114.3mm

Have been to my local wheel specialist and they have drawn a blank. we think
they are from late 1970's.

So , Any ideas?

Alan

if they are 4 stud (very likely ) and you convert to imperial gives you a
4.5 inch pcd,
this size is a Leyland size, but if they are 12 inch rims then they are
probably for an Austin 1100/1300

Thanks for that cheerful. Yes they are 4 stud and yes they are 12"

They are Wolfrace slot alloys. I shouldn't think there are many Austin
1100/1300 's going about with them on.

No, but that was quite an 'in' wheel when the 1100/1300 was at the peak of
its popularity in the early 70s.

My MG1300 was quite a quick car at the time (early 70's), mind you the
VX4/90 that I had was much quicker and I prefered it to the Lotus Cortina
(at the time, but maybe I was biased by owning the Vauxhall?.)
