Default Unusual Blitz 16" rim.

Keith Webb visited a few weeks ago and I pointed out to him a pair of unusually wide 16" Blitz rims. Keith put the photo onto Facebook with a query but did not receive much of a response.

Here are a few photos.

Firstly the one Keith took.

So over to you experts, what is the wide rim measuring about 7.5" across the bead off?

regards Rick.
