Default Superlite Wheels?

Did a search and came up with nothing. Anyone ever heard of these? They're from the UK. There's a 14x6 FWD wheel in the link below. Oh yeah, anyone have them?

Heard of them, but not used them. They are a reputable company. Been around for a while.

They used to be sold by an importer company based in Florida for many years but I haven't heard of that company in many years. It was the early to mid-'90s or so and they used to advertise on the back cover of GRM (maybe David Wallens will remember them). Pricing was pretty low for a Minilite copy and I wanted some pretty bad but the cars I owned and their fitment list never matched up.

I was looking into these in the summer. This is an email I got back from them concerning the 15x7 wheel they sell.

Dear Sir

Our 7x15 has 12p offset 112mm rear space @ 105.00 pounds sterling each inc nus and caps

Kind regards

karen


I don't understand the 12p offset thing and I don't know if 112mm backspacing is good for a fwd honda, but the 105 pounds price equals out to $192.747 USD each with the current exchange rate.

Oh yes, I remember them. The importer used to buy some big spreads in our magazine, but that was ages ago. Ian, the importer, usually started his conversations with "Tell me something" in a thick Jamaican accent. Guess it's only funny if you work here.
