Wanted Aero 8 Front Wheel

[Paul Andrew]

Pretty forlorn hope I know, but would anybody have or indeed know of the whereabouts of a front wheel for a 2006 Aero 8?
The detail on this wheel: 18" and the design has 15 "vanes". I believe these wheels were manufactured by Rimstock, under the name Corse.

I would be extremely grateful if anybody could help as currently I have only three wheels on my Morgan and I'm not rolling along!

Please call if you can help,

Kind regards,

have you tried techniques, brands hatch Morgan's or the factory

[Paul Andrew]

Yes I have. I first contacted the factory, only to be told that this style of wheel was discontinued, not sure when, but never the less, discontinued. I then phoned all the Morgan dealers advertising in the most recent edition of the Miscellany magazine, again no joy!

I thought perhaps, somebody might, just might, have replaced the standard 15 vane version with an after market alternative and there could be a set lying unloved in the corner of a garage somewhere!

Well, you have to hope don't you!

It seems such a shame, not to mention expensive, to have to replace with a full set, as the other three rims are immaculate!

Thanks for your suggestion though,

Paul

The 2004 Le Mans Aero ran with 15 vane wheels on the rear and OZ magnesium alloys on the front ( see David Douse's book Morgan at Le Mans). So you could buy 2 or 3 more easily obtainable and cheaper 2nd hand OZ mag alloys for the front (check out MMC - they found some for me) and your 3rd 15 vane wheel becomes a spare.
Simples!
ps I have just completed a race season in my Aero running on standard OZ mag alloys and despite a big off into the gravel at Paddock Hill Bend when the nearside rear tyre was ripped from the wheel and the paint stripped off no damage or cracks occurred - so they are pretty sturdy.

Have you thought of trying Rimstock (Team Dynamics) direct?
