No - they aren't... unfortunately. The Hillman uses a different bolt circle. If you look thru some of the earlier posts, you'll see this has become a True Quest. So far - we know the same wheels were used on the Early Lotus Seven Mk 1's, but no one has been able to positively determine what other cars, if any, the wheels were used on. We know they were made by Rubery-Owen, and that they have a 4x4" bolt cirlce with a 2 5/8" center opening. They 'may' have been used on very early (pre-farina?) Austin Cambridges, and possibly some Woseley's - but the operative word is 'may'.
: Aren't the steel wheels used on Turners identical to Hillman Minx wheels?
