They need some work to bring back to their best, but rare so worth the effort?

Given that the listing says the tyres are Michelin TRX 170/65 R 365 82H, I'd say they are indeed original metrics rather than the 14" copies. 165/70 R14's won't fit these.

Is right. I also seem to recall someone on here saying (a while ago now) that they had similar looking wheels which were not metric. Possibly it was Kitch but I may be wrong. As you say david you'd never fit 14" tyres on these, nor would you be able to fit tubes in them either. Long while since I was a tyre fitter but I seem to recall these equal approximately 13.5 inches.DavidRutherford wrote:Given that the listing says the tyres are Michelin TRX 170/65 R 365 82H, I'd say they are indeed original metrics rather than the 14" copies. 165/70 R14's won't fit these.

Well, I learn something. I thought all of these wheels were called 'Metric' owing to the design and not the sizing. Fortunately mine are the later species. My knowledge of wheels and tyres is not great. One is round and one is black. Anyway, Friday night so Cheers!
