Wasn't it POLARIS that made these?? They had the pepperpot and a few other designs too.

I'm sure I have silver cat fronts somewhere ( pepperpot ) I'll have a dig.

RW Racing used to make those anodised ally wheels, way back late 80's, Ron made them to fit the cat, with no need for adapters. I was staring at a pair of rears only a week ago in a friends garage, they look the nuts and are feather light. They stand up to being re shod much better than plastic ones.
