Wheel Assistance Please

Post by nigelrb »

I am looking at buying a set of VTR wheels for my 1998 Storm, and am coming across a curious array of different designations on eBay such as: '72R', 'HM86', 'EB96' etc. I understand there might be some difference in the later models, but these codes have appeared across 1997 and 1998 models.

Are they different types of wheels, or might it be a manufacturing code? Cheers! :thumbup:

No idea... They are all the same as far as I am aware... It may be a refrence to the paint colour as that is the only difference between years...
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

77 R & 72 R are definitely storm wheels front and rear. I have a good but tatty paintwork set one the shed so I can confirm they fit.
