Title: 1971 Triumph Bonneville wheel rims
Post by: madrugada on March 18, 2014, 05:30:44 PM

Hi,

Does anybody know what the wheel rim sizes are for a 1971 Triumph Bonneville, I know that they are 19" front & 18" rear, but are they WM2 or WM3? I am trying to order some replacements, but cannot find anything stamped on the old rims.

Regards, John

The original front rim should be WM2 (1.85") and rear should be WM3 (2.15")
