Did DDS make anything similar back in the day? Or is this a new invention...?
How long ago did Erco start making these wheels?
Anyone know the "spun" wheels history? DDS, Michell, Douglas?? More?

I'd also like to know if anyone knows you can get EROS balanced in the UK? Noone seems to have a machine that can do the job  |

Monkiboy, any good tyre fitter should be able to balance them as long as they can balance Ford Transit wheels. They have to use a 'cone' to fill the flipping great hole to balance them

I don`t think this is a period picture.
Between the lines, he is asking why everybody are using zero offset Erco`s when zero offset DDS rims where not availiable.

The first 0-offset rim was Centerline 3,5"....I would say around 1980 butfirst used on off-road veichles. Spun 0-offset wheels must be mid 90 something.
