    Spacers made in England?

    Hi Guys,

    Looking for some spacers for my Alpine, thought you might know were to get them. It says England on them but don't know the manufacturer.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,

    These days it's 'Grayston' Pim.

    I'm not sure who made them in period?
    There was a four stud version often used on Minis. I can't say I ever liked the look of them though.
    I can see that you're limited for off the shelf 3 stud spacers though. There isn't much out there?

    Pim,

    It looks like COSMIC made them in period?:

    COSMIC also made wheels to fit the A110 and R8, so it's seems more than likely. 'Some of the Cosmic Renault wheels here for example:

    I am afraid they are not for sale anymore as new. Sometimes they appear at the French selling site "Leboncoin" . I mostly try to e mail and ask if the seller is willing to ship abroad, but often enough some sellers are reluctant to sell or post abroad. I will keep trying.
    Cheers, Pim

    Those are real classics - so beautiful. I watched a video on petrolicious a while ago where they interviewed a gentleman who had 7 or 8 of them. Racers and street versions both. Good luck with yours.
