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.

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.
