Hi folks,
           I am looking for some 13 x 6 Tasman mag wheels. I just bought a pair off the net but they were different to the pair I already have. Any help in locating some appreciated.

Thanks,
           Dean.

Is it the stud pattern that is wrong?
If so its not a problem, a good wheel shop can re/drill and install steel seats that are better anyway because the nuts chew out the alloy.

Dean they may not be Tasman  around 1967 there was a company that produced a mag that was similar to the Tasman steel outer rim, with metal pieces cast in to the aluminium spoke center, so they could weld them to the steel outer rim the same way Tasman did it [it is still done this way on some Cragar Mags] anyhow.... they were made by Spur Engineering  at 99 Edgecliff Road Bondi Junction and had a different spoke in that it was flatter than the Tasman I have seen the Spur Mag's mistaken for the Tasman many times over the years ..... I know Tasman made the Mark 1 and Mark 2 but not sure if the style of the spoke changed between these two series Huh......FC427......

Thanks Mark & Kevin,

The stud pattern is right, it is the shape of the spokes that is the problem.
Suppose i could put one set on one side & the other set on the other side  Grin.

If you haven't grown up by 50, you don't have to.
