[Rovernet] Rare bits wanted

[louatlcf at aol.com]

Hi:
Look up Marsh Racing Wheels on your browser and check out their web site. They made for me a set of welded one piece steel wheels to the offset I wanted for my Porsche 914 V8 Renegade Hybrid street rod (custom offset at no extra cost) . They had lots of bolt patterns and the cost of the new wheels was reasonable. I live in California and they shipped the wheels I ordered to me directly from their plant.  Try "Rally wheels," a Chrysler bolt pattern may work with the Rover bolt pattern and they are designed for US thread studs, if that fails they will work with you.

I have wondered how robust the Rover Dion rear axle, half shafts etc are, have you researched the limits for the stock setup? I understand the Rover v-8 rear ends are different from the earlier 4 cylinder models.

I was hoping I would never have to send this out, but I have no choice, so 
please forgive me bombing the list.  I am trying to find a set of the 
small-pattern hubs/axles off of an early Magnum wheel-equipped TC.  There is 
someone only a dozen or so miles away that has them on a car, I had him ask his 
father (who wants to restore it) if I could trade front hubs and rear hubs/axles 
for mine along with the Rostyles I have on my parts car and he said no, I wish I 
could explain to him that there would absolutely no visual difference.  Anyway, 
I want to fit aftermarket alloy wheels to my TC, and I cannot and will not pay 
the small fortune wanted for custom 3-piece wheels.  The 5 on 4.75 (5 x 
120.65mm) hubs will allow me to use BMW fitment wheels (5 x 120mm) with PCD 
variation nuts (and switching out the imperial studs for metric).  I am planning 
a turbocharged V6 transplant, but I'm not even going to start until the 
wheel/tyre issue is resolved, I'm not going
 to attempt putting down 300+ bhp on 185/70-14 tyres.  Please have a look 
through your stash(es) and see what you've got, the future of my project hinges 
on finding this hardware.  Thanks for your time.
