Hi Kurt, Demon Tweeks auto site is a good place to have a look. Loads of different sizes, widths etc. Not too bad a price either. You could always find what you're looking for on there & then type in the name, size etc., & have a look on ebay.
Happy hunting! Bob. :thumbsup:

I've got Team Dynamics mag wheels on mine, 205/70/15 tyres & you don't have to have wheel adaptors, they bolt straight on to Reliant axles. They look good being black with silver rim & accents. Just a thought. Bob. :beer:

im supprised that they fit correctly as the stud pattern is 4x4 on a reliant and no other car uses that pattern it stands a chance that your wheels are 4x 100 which as close but not right you can fit 12mm studs which gets it closer to a proper fit but still not right .what size wheels are you looking for what do you call wide mine has 10" rimes but i would not fit them to a reliant axle as they would put to much pressure on the axle :respek:

Well, there's a mystery! The wheels fit absolutely perfectly with the studs dead centre in the wheel. They've been on the trike since 2012 & have, as you can imagine, been on & off several times with no problems whatsoever. Perhaps the manufacturers of my wheels sponsored a Reliant racing team sometime in the distant past & made these mystical, fit nothing, improbable wheels for that specific purpose & I've got the only ones! Hoorah! what a result. Happy Christmas.
