    Ok so i am ready to press the embarassed smiley but here goes -


    I have 4 stock wheels , two have round centres and two have star shaped centres , is there a reason for the different centres other than a mix n match over the years ?.

    i already feel a crimson glow rising to my cheeks :-

    I do know Majors wheels have the star shaped centres, dont know why though, clear the hubs?

    My spare has a round hole, It may be an earlier version....does it matter if they all fit the same hubs. :thinking:

    Gusbus' are star shaped, just found a pic of them.

    Maybe they used less steel when pressing the wheels to save a bit of the manufacturing costs scratch that, we're talking bout 1972 here, not 2012 ::)

    bollys original (datestamped 1978) are star, some 1973 ones i had off brett are round, possibly older ones then?
     
  8. Are you ditching your alloys then, and going back to stock? I think your bus looks best with alloys.
