Answer, yes, Alan Whitton Race Engineering. They are available at a price (not cheap!)

They are not all that light either, I had one in my sweaty palm the other night, not much lighter than the steel original to be honest, but I'm sure someone will shoot me down in flames for saying so!

Thanks Big John
Will give him a call tomorrow, if there in. Any idea of the approx cost, and can they produce one similat to a widened cub hub ?
Thanks Ross
Incidentally these are the wheels I mentioned as having been so reliable ! Obviously tempted fate.

The one I saw was a rear widened type, so yes they are available.

Hi Guy's

Yes Alan's yer man and I think he makes standard, wide, and wider. but you will have to check. But they are very well engineered, just check out the detail. Anything lighter may well brake (Get It).
