We have received the first set of the new type steel artillery wheels and hubs which are suitable for cars fitted with 4-wheel brakes and are made in accordance with R's design. We understand that these wheels are very urgently required for customers. Do you wish a special 10,000 miles test to be carried out on these wheels? - otherwise we shall run them in conjunction with the standardisation tests on the 'V' series chassis.
