Gravity - unofficial/official wheel bolt pattern determination

[037]

Went out to meat packing district and measured the wheel bolt pattern.

Of all the mysteries out there, I figured I can help solve maybe one.

The aim was to prove 5x120 or 4.75”

Photos attached.

Vehicle: VIN 14 prototype

Old-school sleuthing. Love it.

Great work! I suggest @037 change the name to 007!

At first I thought “why didn’t he use a ruler?” Then saw that last shot.

Didn’t want to get tackled for scratching a million dollar prototype. A backup plan included using my cell with pre-determined measured points around button locations. I put way more thought into it in case people were going to make it difficult for me.

I mean, if it isn’t public it must be top secret?

That is officially AWESOME! (That you had a backup plan and what it involved)

I have been trying to narrow down a vehicle similar enough to Gravity to start wheel shopping and the closest I got for wheel bolt pattern, bore size and weight is the BMW XM. Gravity likely to be heavier than the 6k weight of the BMW but at that point we are in Rolls Royce weight…one of those two will have to do as Rovers aren’t going over 6k often.
