I'd be interested in the wheels if they're available.  One of our local racers had a set of 10x7 JAP's on his supercharged 1071 CS racer in the day and they'd be great on our current vintage car.  Send me a note from the email in my profile.

At 7 inches wide and looking at the offset they would need some wide flares.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Thanks Cup Cake,

I'm also in direct conatct with JAP on the specs and origin of these wheels. Fidured I'd reach out here as well since communication back and fourth to UK from CA is often delayed 12-24 hours.

Here's a good write up on J. A. Pearce.

Hi All,


I ran across these JAP Magna wheels that have been sitting in my shop for a few years. Completely forgot about them. If I recall correctly, they were in an early '60's mini that I had years ago. Anyone have any idea what these are? What they might be worth? Looking to find out what they are, and a value.
