Series regulation state:
"H] Wheels & Steering---dimensions of wheel rims to be as standard 14 x 6 steel or alloy only "
Neil's wheels fail on the 14 x 6 part, but are standard for his car, which is a 1a.
The regs also state
The word STANDARD should be observed in all instances. where parts are replaced in preparation or maintenance of an MR2 for racing.
and
If it was not on the car when sold by Toyota then assume unless otherwise stated it is not allowed.
The 14 x 5.5 wheels on Neil's car are STANDARD, and are of the same type that were on the car when it was sold by Toyota.
IMHO not specifying that 14 x 5.5 wheels were allowed was an oversight by the series organisers, and the stipulation for STANDARD items should overrule this

Re: MR2C - Mallory 14.10.07
please do not rev this topic up, i appreciate it is a forum but it is being dealt with you can be assured and no amount of quoting will change any out come.
there was high feelings in the paddock as i can also see on here but a hyped up thread will not help the series only cause problems via onlookers from????
so let the engine etc be checked and await the results like the rest of us please for reputation of the drivers and series .
