Hi
On a super You could have 6.00x19 3 spoke cast as standard, 6.00x 16 steel rim( to take 7.50 tyre) 6 bolt center with hubs as an option, or 6.00x19 steel rim with 6 bolt and hub as an option, but I seem to think for some reason the last one only came on the later supers with grey rims/fenders and are pretty rare.

Hi
Yes they could if a guy wanted to pay extra for them . all the new style majors shipped to north America have pressed fitted as standard. when I emigrated to Canada I did bring a set of 3 spokes and 4's with me. I may fit them one day but 6.00x 19 tyres are expensive this side as they are not common. near $500 a pair with shipping I need one set for my E27N for a start :cry: .
