Mullins Wheels
About Us.
Merrington M. Mullins who founded Mullins Wheels back in 1905, began his career at the Lewis Cycle & Engineering Works in Adelaide, working as a Wheelwright. Like any genuine purveyor of quality products, Mullins has a heritage that has been earned over time, not made-up or imagined and that’s why they are leaders in the aftermarket alloy wheel market today.
WOODEN WHEELS
In the late 1800's the first motor vehicles were fitted with wooden spoke wheels and narrow solid rubber or high pressure tyres. These wheels were found to have limitations when travelling over the rough, unmade, often sandy roads prevalent at the time. Merrington M. Mullins who founded Mullins Wheels, began his career at the Lewis Cycle & Engineering Works in Adelaide, working as a Wheelwright.
WIRE WHEELS
In 1897 whilst working for Lewis Cycle & Motor Works, Merrington M Mullins manufactured wire wheels for the first petrol driven motor car built in South Australia.
ALLOY WHEELS
The 1970s saw the birth of the 'mag wheel' manufacturing industry in Australia, and prior to opening its own foundry, Mullins Wheels purchased raw castings for their Triden and Hotwire wheels from Cheviot wheels, which were then finished in-house. Both wheels proved very popular with Falcon and HQ Holden owners.
IN-HOUSE CASTING
The Delta alloy wheel range proved to be enormously popular with car owners in the 70s and 80s. The Delta Monarch had the honour of being the first alloy wheel made entirely by Mullins Wheels Pty Ltd, with the casting taking place at their old Mile End Factory.
ACQUISITION OF CSA
Mullins Wheels purchased CSA Alloy Wheels in September 1986, adding the CSA, Globe and Magnum brands to the existing Delta product range and in January 1987 Mullins relocated their manufacturing centres, head office and distribution centre, to a new 14 acre site at Salisbury, South Australia.
CSA ALLOY WHEELS NOW
The CSA brand is now known for beautifully designed and manufactured alloy and steel wheels that have been putting smiles on the faces of Australian car enthusiasts for decades.
