The warranty period commences from the date of invoice and is subject to the wheels being maintained as per our Wheel Care advice and in conjunction with our Terms and Conditions. Please retain the warranty tag supplied with each wheel as it contains the information required to identify the wheel in the event of a claim.

Please note: ACWW warranty automatically becomes void if the wheels have been: subject to re-work or change; fitted with tyres other than the manufacturer’s recommended fitment; or used for track events.

Splined Hubs

Option 1

Check PCD – some vehicles have 4¼” PCD instead of 4½” PCD:
If 4½”:
RSV5L – Left (please contact us to order)
RSV5R – Right (please contact us to order)

Check Nuts – either five 7/16″ or five ½” per hub

Bolt-on splines, unless fitted as original equipment, will increase the track by up to 1¼” per wheel

Studs will require shortening.

Extra Information

Other comments

The P1800 was manufactured in the Jensen Factory in the UK. In 1964 the production moved to Sweden, where the more powerful 1800S, 2l, was built.

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) and Cleaning Brush.
