Hi Cass.
I've had my S type since 1987 and bearing in mind it was garaged for about 9 years before I bought it. It came with a few spare wheels, all curly hub so I suspect this 1965 model always had curly hubs.
Hope this helps!

Re: Wire wheels
Original Dunlop wheels were stamped hub (slightly deeper curl). The change to turned from billet happened during 1966 for curly hub & availability of so called "easy cleaned" or "easy cleans". Precise dates seem lost in the annals of time unless someone has a source of better information. Aston Martin seems to report similarly although they did not move to the 52mm hub until the DB6 Mkii
