Title: Re: Can anyone ID these wheels? Post by: FC427 on October 05, 2009, 11:18:32 PM They used to be at 24 English Street Camperdown... Think they started around 1965 ??? and were at this address till late 70's ??? They use to widen [with a band] if you wanted wider than 6" wheels ,repair and chroming also ...Think they then moved over Padstow way ??? ??? ??? and are now at Liverpool still doing wheels repairs and making wheels for Road & Track they had a few different styles I remember all pressed steel ...The wheel you have is The First Release one piece rim from Morton & May...... circa .. June 1968 ...Tasman also offered pressed steel wheels in there own design at this time also as well as the Tasman Mag . ....FC427......
