0 radiomike7 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It would be unusual to balance trailer wheels so they are most likely from a vehicle. The load index of 95/92 refers to a weight capability of 690kg each as a single or 630kg each when used as a twin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ruxy Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 On the basis of 'what's left' with 5 studs rim , 16" rim - I have to guess at Austin Gipsy s.w.b. , more tyre detail photographs - maker etc. & if you look hard under paint at nave then you may find rim makers details - GKN Sankey or say KH (Kelsey Hayes) - but KH normally used a more DIY weight bolt secured.

0 ltwtbarmy Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I think they’re Standard Vanguard Phase 1 wheels. Restored one a couple of years ago, and this picture confirms it- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rustyaustinchamp Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Thanks for all your replies chaps, Standard Vanguard is a vehicle I never considered but looks exactly like the wheels I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not ! The Vangard rims have extra holes - probably for mounting trims / embelishers - the rim in question does not. This query rim is most distinctive - - the slots where the two parts are riveted together - it's not a full complete slot , it is a broken slot such that it has a extra rivet. It's most significant & should allow a zero in as most uncommon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember they were always referred to as 'hub caps' which is similar to calling modern door mirrors 'wing mirrors'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
