In that case I think I have two Nobel wheels, Bob. Also have some Bond ones. A job to do was to dig them out and ID them. I also found some Scootacar wheels, keeping them obviously. Isetta wheels used to be no prob unless you wanted the offset third back wheel. I still have a split rim early wheel. The other wheel is from the Sidecar now gone to lockdown. I think I also have a Goggo 700 wheel or two.
I think I could direct you to a source of 8 inch wheels either to convert or converted without the expense of using Schmitt wheels. The true Panzer wheel is German but newer stock has come from Britain and I not so sure it is as thick. Please ignore theories on unsprung weight..... The Hallam's car used to be on Nob wheels with converter centres didn't it? He left them like that to irritate people.
