Can you identify these wheels?

Ok it's nothing to do with Land Rovers, other than the trailer will be towed behind my 90 but I know you guys are accomodating...

I'm trying to find out where these wheels came from:

I got a freebie motorbike trailer, which has been home made quite some time ago. The 13-inch wheels are pretty rusty in places and it could do with a couple of tyres and a spare. Best bet in these circumstances it to get 3 wheels and tyres off a scrapper but I think the wheels might be too old for that. However can any of you guys identify them?

Maybe you will recognise the wheel or the brake drum. There is a proper axel on the trailer joining the two wheels with no diff so it's from a front wheel drive car.

Any ideas?

Thought old renaults were three stud or have they abandoned that bit of gallic nonsense close inspection should reveal the manufacturers stamp a good place to start. I was thinking Austin maybe an all-aggro cos IIRC the 1100 1300 were on 12inch rims Derek

I have just been on the hunt for a cheap trailer and was informed by my father that when he last looked and bought any trailer bits trailer wheels came in either ford flavour or british (morris/mini/rover etc) varietys.

That wheel looks fairly similarily sized to the wheels on the trailer i am currently refurbishing which is on morris wheels i am told.

measure the pcd (which i assume is diagonal centre-centre)

Well unfortunately I've just sent a set of wheels like those to the scrappy. I'm not positive but I thought they came off an Austin or Morris of some description.

They look to me like the wheels off an old Triumph 1300, the old front wheel drive one, before they brought out the Dollop'o s**te which is rear wheel drive. I don't recall them having so many holes in them though but they are very similar in shape, I don't think they are Austin/Morris though, might be foreign, Fiat or something.

I took the hub assembly to a bearing manufacturer to try and get a new bearing... The guy said Fiat almost instantly and was able to look up his catalogue and pull one from his shelves - most impressive!

Also founs something similar on Ebay searching on 'Fiat hub' and came up with something siilar. I've asked the seller a question about dimensions...

Would hubs be shared between Fiat and all you good peoples guesses? or would other wheels fit? The wheels fit on the hub very snugly so I'g guess there Fiat wheels too???

I'll get the measurements (stud pitch) later this evening when I get the opportunity to pop out to the garage in between spending some 'quality time' with the missus!

Maybe VW Golf or Vauxhall will fit? Probably 10cm PCD.
