Hit a massive pothole today and nearside front wheel in a bad state of repair. The offside one isnt too healthy either so could anyone give me an idea where I could get a new set from? Assume no chance from the factory?
Many thanks

Taffy, If they are no longer available I think SiFab offer a repair & hairline crack test

Which wheel design are you running as two or three types could be involved.

Hi Alastair, can I email a photo as never managed to post a picture?
T

Taffy I have sent you a personal message through the forum which has my email address.
If you want to send the photo as an attachment to that address I am happy to post it for you.

As if by magic.



IIRC these were manufactured for Morgan by Fondmetal.
https://www.fondmetal.com/en

They were sold only on the Supersport or Coupe however Morgan are known to be flexible if asked and money is changing hands. They let me have the AeroMax Rays wheel on the Coupe when we bought it.
I believe the size and PCD /offset is cast into the inside of the wheel.

Ale_72 on this board is based in CH/IT and was looking for an alternative set of wheels to allow him to put winter tyres on his Supersports. It might be worth a DM to him as he is always helpful.
I believe that in the end he bought an 18" set from Rimstock which look good. https://www.rimstock.com/ You can find his thread here on fishbook https://www.facebook.com/MorganAeroSS

To my knowledge the designs that have been used on the Coupe/SS models

p.s. If there is any hooligan in you try one with the dual sidepipes......loudest ever.

As Alistair says (in his comprehensive post!) , It's worth asking the factory - they certainly used to use these as slave wheels to move part-built cars around.

Many thanks Alastair for all the info.
Will - I will give the factory a go to begin my search!

Ciao, the ones I have as winter set are from rimstock -19 inches- specifically these:

The good part of it is that they do it based on your specs (in my case identical to the original - there is a thread where I put all the info).
They have (at least had) a very good quality price ratio. Only pain is the center cap that you need to do it by yourself.
For anything else, just ask.

PS Fondmetal (italian company) does not provide them anymore to private customers. I already called them. In italian... Using all my italian arts, ahahahah.

@Alistair you are too kind

Hi. I own a 2016 Plus 8 along with the obligatory Rays 19”wheels.

I am looking for alternatives, maybe 18”. I have followed the above threads and also can confirm it is difficult to find new options.

I am wondering if 18” wheels will give a more settled ride thus has anyone any experience to offer?

Currently I am looking at the Morgan std pepper pot wheels in silver. Do they suit the car is a question I have not as yet answered.

Rays have an 18” wheel that has correct details except for ET which Morgan say is 26 when nearest Rays is 30. ET I am told is offset from the callipers.

Thoughts ?

Many thanks
Jeremy

The only other style that comes to mind (beyond the above) is the Morgan Park wheel which is very attractive. I think this was also used on the Plus8 50th Anniversary model?

This link downloads their catalogue to your machine https://www.morganpark.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/NEW-Aero-8-Katalog.pdf The wheels are in it, any good ?

I have some aero supersport wheels that are looking for a new home. They are straight, not cracked but need a refurb. Send me a message if you are interested.

On your comment re "do the pepperpots match the Plus 8?"

I was a little undecided at first but when I saw a couple of the Plus 8 Speedsters in the flesh I really liked them. If you do a google image search for Morgan Plus 8 Speedster you should see a good few images.

There is one at the moment at Morgan Belgium, a French model which was damaged
