that makes sense. astralite supplied the wheels to hesketh. astralite is a trade name for 'british aluminium company' 'BACO' back in the late 70's a mate used to work for BACO in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire and they were testing those astralite wheels there for fitment to the hesketh. they also made aluminium cooking foil. BACOFOIL.

Funny that coz the 1 thing the wheels didn`t match is the name they were very heavy !!

On another note " How the f**k did this fit "
