Unfortunately this has been an Odyssey.
On Feb 1st I finally ordered the wheels.
After hundreds (well... millions) of doubts, investigations, options, quality/price checks, offers from 800 eur to 12.000 eur for 4 wheels, I finally decided to go for some Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3, since they were willing to build them according to my specs at a reasonable price.

Then in the factory they had some production issues that delayed the delivery of 3 weeks, then some painting issue, that delayed the delivery of an additional week and now I am blocked since -even if they promised that rims could be fitted with my factory wheel nuts, obviously this is not the case.

In two weeks I should be able to have the new wheel lugs and be able to fit them.
After that I will have to think/work on the center caps since the team dynamics ones are good for a tuned Fiat Punto.

This is where we were before getting stuck

Looks similar to my lift when its bolted down soon...

Hope it's better than this since here we had to put two small blocks in the front to avoid clearance issues

Please after try to don't do that

Yes most scissor lifts need 100mm to 125mm clearance to drive over plus say another 40mm to put the rubber blocks between the platforms and the pickup points on the car.

Modern two posts can in some cases go down to 90mm but I have found I need to keep some blocks for my two post as some cars are lowered to the extent that you need that boost to get the lift pads under them.

Small price to pay for the advantage of getting the car off the ground, do not criticise the lift just drive a car with more ground clearance.

At least they look excellent!

Rimstock (who make the Team Dynamics range) made the wheels for my Series 4 Aero and I use them for refurb work too. They did an amazing job with the GTN wheels too.

Which style? Do you have a pic?
Did you had to provide them the specs, or did they do it based on their database?

Rimstock supplied Morgan with the early Series 3 wheels (pre the current Corsa Wheel) so had the spec on hand.


Struggling to post a picture at the moment but there are a few in the Morgan photo album if you go back to 2009! It's the Matt Black Series 4 with the yellow forged alloys.

Ah got it!
Cannot find the pic but I perfectly remember car and rims!
Was the one with the front yellow grill as well and rims somehow similar to BBS CH-R.
Nice. I went for a much cheaper cast option.
