As above, does anyone know the wheel size and bolt pattern on the M12's? Also, it appears they used HRE manufactured wheels, can anyone confirm this?

u've been waiting a long time for a response, but i suggest that a leeter to lambo or a visit would help, my guess is that it runs the same pattern as the diablo, if not they would know, i think they supplied the wheels. small chance but gerald might know, if u visit his watercraft site, u can email him, he'll reply, i do it every once in a while.

Specialist is right, same as Diablo, same hubs and uprights. They were HRE wheels.

i mean the only diff between the 2 cars are the name plates and the windows, everything else looks the same, tho diablos had awd on some

There were a fair amount of shared components, but inboard of the uprights was unique to the M12. Also the engine mounts backwards in the Vector as compared to the Diablo. It's why the back of the Vector is so long. The transmission on the Lambo mounts mid ship where the ZF in the M12 is behind the V12. The chassis are completely different.
Losing the lambo engine deal was the killing of Vector in the M12 era. When Lambo was no longer obligated to sell engines to Vector, they stopped and tried to forget that it had ever happened.

well yea all that, but still all the guy wanted to know was the bolt pattern, and we started going off on the whole car

i think it would be nice if vector came out with a new car, i've read that they're working on one, but god only knows if thats true, i did email gerald and asked, he said the new vector development is secret

Hope this helps.
