Thanks. How did I manage to miss the obvious? Never thought Lola were still in business, and also wondering if they do the heritage style wheels aI need?
Will call them Monday.
Thanks - you reckon they still do the 1970's style Lola MK111 wheels?
Had email back from Glyn at Lola - sounds interested but no contact yet from Ian. I shall update you.
My problem is a I want 5 pin drive not 6 pin.....................
I feel a pm coming on?? Let's have it then my friend. cheers Chris
Johan thanks for that. Does PSE do email? cheers Chris
ps I have to get 5 pin as the pain in swapping out to 6 will knock everyhting else I've done out of sync.
Just heard from my wheel builder in South Africa.
He will make the Lola T70s exactly as shown in my posted pictures. They will be 5 or 6 pin knock on knock off style. The price is 25000 ZAR per set. However, he will only do a minimum order of 15 sets. So that's knocks me out of the game, I want 2 sets so if we can come up with 13 other buyers we may have a deal.
Any thoughts?? thanks Chris
ps turn around is 5-6 weeks for the Lolas and 50% deposit up front.

Yup and £1600 gbp - actually a really good price if you want 15 sets in your back yard!!
Any ideas how to muster up enough orders to get 13 orders for these wheels?

Is Lola doing them for $2600 for a set of four?
You might best post on a Lola forum and it could have a better effect for getting buyers. Nit so much Lola traffic here.
OK, please ignore if this is too much thread drift... Does anyone know where in the heck Superformance is getting their (very original looking) Halibrands for their GT40 replica? Their wheels are not the standard replica Halibrands you see on lots of cobras and GT40s, and which can be had for about $1,500/set. Thanks.
Here's the issue at present - PSE wheels are not the same as the Lolas I need. Not yet anyway! Spoken to Phil - very helpful and we're chewing over some options.
You will see that PSE Lola wheels are distinctly different from the ones I need to re-create. The curvature of the spokes, where the spokes terminate and the centres are the areas to be addressed.
OK update.
As of today it may be possible to get the Lola T70 wheel (as shown in the pictures) for £2000 gbp - only need to buy 3 full sets. Well I've got orders for 2 sets so just need another order.
Let me know. cheers Chris
