Hi.
My car is a 1971 1800E.
1970-71 Volvo used the Cromodora cloverleaf wheel then changed in 72-73 to the Dunlop/GKN one, both types of wheel are a composite construction of a steel rim riveted to an alloy centre, the Dunlop wheels were also used on Scimitars and the MGBV8.
There were companies out there rebuilding the 14" MG & Scimitar Dunlops but as the previous threads have said, they couldn't touch the 15" Volvo one.
Sadly I couldn't find anyone who could viably restore mine and I asked loads of people, they all said you'd need so many wheels for us to practice on and it would be so expensive.
I was told however that the MGB club had a batch of brand new Dunlop pattern wheels remade by Image Wheels in the Midlands, I've got no idea of production numbers or costings though.
David.
