Any idea where Robbie picked these up or where you might be able to get a set now.

Hey old_dreams, the wheels are indeed 40/32, but they are 26x1-3/8" size. Robbie pulled them off a 1965 (or thereabouts) Hercules that he was stripping as I recall. The hub is stamped 65 4.

Are you really in Ireland?
