I told you I have 4 new ones with tyres! I won't be selling for
less than what they cost, or more either, complete with bearings
installed, adaptors on the rear...

I'll keep that in mind, I've got to sell a few bits which will
free up funds!

Just to throw something else into this pot of stew!
While pitbike wheels have been found to be a very good option,
it's still not "the only game in town". Graham Hill purchased
wheels for his MG, they are neither the original Honda CT type
wheels, nor are they Pitbike, "Bentaxle" on the US forum site
uses yet another well known brand of wheels from small moto x
bikes.
I guess what I'm suggesting is that there are always options to
explore. Some may be a bit more expensive, some are cheaper.
It's usually worth spending more time trolling for options.

Yes Rhys, it's worth exploring. Mine are two pairs of identical
Honda 125 (specific model not known). They are 17x1.6, but
heavier and more robust than the C50-C90 range. Bearings are 42
OD which gives a good choice of useful ID sizes. It was by
chance, not design; they were cheap at the time.

Another thought on this.
If you have a look across the channel Fabrice and friends are
using 14" wheels. Why not be pragmatic and do the same. I have
found several places this morning where they are available for
around the £30 each. Don't forget that bearing size (35 mm OD)
before ordering fronts.
Some of the full size inspiration cars only had 17" anyway so
maybe the 17" wheels on a CK are a bit out of "scale"?

I've used 14" on the Morgan because that's what the originals
scale at. I'll do the same on the next build for the same
reason, then I'll go to 17" for the A7 Shelsley special.
