Update.
I was out the other day and stopped in a lay-by for a slurp of coffee. I could see a couple of wheels in a ditch with what looked like maybe 114mm PCDs. I knew I'd be back that way soon, so next time took a tape measure with me.
I fell flat on my back and had to remove several thorns (the blood will wash out) but they were the right PCD, centre hole diameter and as far as I can tell the same offset. It took me some time to extricate the wheels and me from the ditch.
They've got 145/70 X 13s fitted which seem to give more grip than my perished old 165/70 X 12s, but I've tried them and they wheels don't foul anything.
I'm doing an autosolo at the weekend, so I'll use them for that and if the tyres are good enough I may be tempted to do at least one autotest on them before I try new tyres.
You couldn't make it up could you?
