Hunter Wheel

[cabrioman]

The wheel in the picture is one of the original wheels supplied by Marlin on my factory built Hunter. Does anyone happen to know what manufacturer they are from, as I would like to obtain a spare rim.

I know they look very similar to 3 dr Sierra Cosworth wheels but they are slightly different.

Cheers

I always thought these wheels were Compomotive cxn.
During my build in 2003 I tried to buy some, but could only find 4 Compomotive cxn2 wheels, which is what I bought.
Similar patterns/copies were also made by TSW and Team Dynamics. Compomotive usually stamp there brand name on the rim.
Are you aware that a full size wheel will not fit under the hard spare wheel cover?

Hi Peter

How you doing.

I had not really considered they may be of wheel manufacturer verses vehicle manufacturer origin. I will have a look to see if there is any compomotive branding.

I know the wheel won't go under a hard wheel cover, which I have, but I am currently using the Malin made canvas cover.

The thinking was if I ever damaged one, having a spare would be good and I happen to really like the look of this style of wheel on the car.

Thanks for the input, hope to see you at one of the shows.

Regards

John

Re: Hunter Wheel

Managed to find out after confirmation from Terry at Marlin that these wheels were supplied by Ford but are no longer available. If anyone comes across one I would be interested in hearing from them.

If anyone is looking for a set of new Cabrio wheels see my ad in the misc section of the classifieds.
