Extra Information | |||
Other comments | We have heard that a centre lock conversion using our XW493 wheels with Series I E-type hubs has been done, however, this has not been tried, tested or verified by MWS. Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear. Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted. We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
