Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy wheels

2018-07-11 Thread hansdefau...@hetnet.nl
Martin,
I have the same weels but in 14” 
On the inside of the wheels you should have a black plastic ring. 
If you lose it – as I did many years ago – the weels will not sit exactly 
in the middle of the hub/drum and it will wobble.
It sometimes sticks to the hub/drum. take a good look.
These black plastic rings were/are no longer available – I got a pair of pink 
replacements. not the correct size but it works if you put that ring on a rear 
wheel.
TSW wheels as far as I can Remember.
I have to go through a pile of papers if you want more info.

Onderwerp : [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy wheels
 Afternoon folks. I am a new contributor here so please be patient with me!  I 
have had a 2+2 (No. 340) for the last 15 years which has been used fairly 
regularly (on and off) for most of that time, but only now am I beginning to 
give it a little overdue TLC. The last month has seen camshaft oil seal, cam 
belt, front discs and pads, general fittings and fixings and reattachment of 
pipes under the car.
 
  I am frustrated by the wheels though. They were on the car when I got it 
(really? Doh!) and one of the hub covers is odd, another missing.  I have seen 
other 2+2s sporting very similar, if not the same, wheels but I cannot find out 
where they came from or who made them.  The only identifier on the rim is KBA 
44044 and searches do not seem to bring up anything meaningful. I am wondering 
if this is an old Ford wheel.
 
 
  I have long suffered wheel wobble at about 60 mph and two tyre shops told me 
they couldn't balance the wheels, which I thought strange.  Perhaps they didn't 
like my haircut. I am considering spending a load of cash I haven't got on new 
wheels and tyres that I might not need. I am lucky to have access to the motor 
vehicle workshops at the college I work at and was given a very quick lesson in 
wheel balancing yesterday (10/07).  Suffice to say and miraculously, no 
wobbles. I can even get the car on a rolling roadnow  to tune it up - without 
the car jumping off which happened before.
 
 
  So, attached is a picture of the wheels in question with the correct centre 
cover in place. Does anyone have spare covers or know where I might be able to 
get some?
 
 
  
 
 
  Thanks.
 
 
  Martin

Very similar but the wheels Martin has seem to be more angular where the spokes

They have very similar part numbers, maybe a older wheel they did ?
Check the rear of the wheel for part numbers as well.

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy wheels

2018-07-11 Thread Jim Hearne
Hi Martin,
I’m pretty sure they aren’t original Ford wheels, i don’t recognise them.
If they were they would have the Ford logo and Ford part number cast into them 
somewhere.
Any more numbers under the centre cap ?
Original Quantum in Stourbridge used to sell various aftermarket wheels, i have 
some old Quantum price lists that might mention what makes they were.

One thought on the tyre shops not being able to balance them, is there no flat 
area on the inside where they could use stick on weights and maybe the rim 
profile stopped them putting on clip on weights.  
Otherwise, maybe it was your haircut

they couldn't balance the wheels, which I thought strange.  Perhaps they didn't 
like my haircut. I am considering spending a load of cash I haven't got on new 
wheels and tyres that I might not need. I am lucky to have access to the motor 
vehicle workshops at the college I work at and was given a very quick lesson in 
wheel balancing yesterday (10/07).  Suffice to say and miraculously, no 
wobbles. I can even get the car on a rolling roadnow  to tune it up - without 
the car jumping off which happened before.
So, attached is a picture of the wheels in question with the correct centre 
cover in place. Does anyone have spare covers or know where I might be able to 
get some?

Thanks.
Martin

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy Wheels.

2013-04-18 Thread Susan and Martin Scott
Hi Paul, I realised when you said where you live that we'd seen your 2+2 parked 
up outside a few weeks ago - looks good.
How about Midland Wheels? they seem to stock some of the old designs (I 
personally like the minilite style!) prices seem quite good too - he displays 
at Newark with some good deals.

  Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Alloy Wheels.


  Hi all,


  My lovely 2+2 is currently fitted with some oh so 90's 5 spoke 14 TSW 
alloys, I will need to replace the tyres soon but to be honest would rather 
replace the alloys.
  I personally feel the 14 wheels suit the 2+2 better than 15  with some of 
the Norfolk roads I drive on daily I don't think 15 alloys with low profile 
tyres would be an option!
  I have looked everywhere for some nice retro 14 alloy wheels (preferable 
with tyres) but cannot seem to find anything suitable...don't suppose there is 
much call for 14 alloy wheels anymore, can anyone advise as to where I might 
be able to find some suitable wheels or does anyone out there have some in the 
back of their garage?
  Ford 4 stud Borbet or BBS would be on the wish list!


  Cheers, Paul.
