Question regarding original alloys on the brm

[Jon_A]

The usual cosmos alloys on the final BRM don't seem to be present on the original concept BRM, infact they look like the ones fitted to MGF's from what I can find the style was called either cup/abingdon. These two pictures seem to confirm this fact:

They were indeed redrilled MGF alloys. The PCD is different for the MGF.

Kev.

Ok they certainly, I feel look better, due to the deeper dish, shame I guess that they cannot fit the BRM.

I often looked at that and thought what if....

Suppose you could change the hubs over?

[Jon_A]

Was that Concept one actually a running version with those wheels? Difference isn't massive at first I thought they were the same.

You could redrill the hub flanges at a 45 degree angle for new studs at 100mm PCD.

Is it really worth it though? A lot of work for a little benefit. I thought about it so I could fit 16" MGTF Trophy wheels but I was just hassle!
