Does anyone know what the wheels on a '63 Tompson Glendale are from? they are not the usual 13" smiths wheels (100E Ford) that the later Tompson or Sprite , Safari, Monsa etc use but a 13" 4 stud wheel that is 4.25" pcd with a large center hole for the stub axle to fit. Have tried the usual Ford, Vauxhall A35 wheels etc, but none seem to fit... any help welcomed

May be stating the obvious, but have you tried the bog-standard caravan/trailer spare wheel as in :

There are two "main" types, one with smaller PCD and the one I suggest with 100mm PCD. Worth a look? Should be easy enough to borrow one for a trial fit.

I have a couple of spare wheels from late 60's early 70's Caravans on B&B Chassis. I dont know the PCD for them but I can find out if you want. 13in without hubcap securing lugs
