[ROVERNET - UK] rostyle wheels

[smanwell]

Strictly speaking, the available reproduction wheels actually are the 
Magnum 500 style.  I think these would work on a P6 as substitute for 
Rostyles if they had the GM bolt pattern though.  Can anyone confirm 
that the GM bolt circle = the Rover pattern?  The centers of Rostyle 
wheels have a more convex shape making the rims look deeper.

Keep in mind that the Magnum 500's and matching hubs used on Rover 2000s 
had a different bolt pattern (both circle and bolt size) from other 
P6s.  Both Magnum 500 and Magstar wheels were made in the US by 
Kelsey-Hayes for Rover and other cars.

Original Rostyles should be easier to restore than Magnum 500s because 
Rostyles have the center riveted to the rim where the Magnums are welded.
