Looking at the size in relation to the vice i'd say the wheels are only about 10" in diameter. The tyres look quite narrow. The fusible plugs would suggest something quite fast.
How about a Folland Gnat main wheel?

Agreed, not a Gnat. I think however that it might be a Jetstream. The hole and bolt pattern matches this one at Cosford as does the tread pattern.
If you go to wiki' a much larger pic is available.
Actually, the more I look at it, the less I am convinced that it is a Jetstream wheel.

The wheels in the first photo seem to be a possible match, but the RAF model looks as if it has a different wheel, possibly a different wheel/brake unit mod state? Are there any Hawk specialists amongst us. Anyway I think you have it cracked.
Just out of mild interest gnc, what will you use the wheels for?, I knew a Station Engineer who was a very heavy smoker who used half a nose wheel hub as an ashtray.

I think that 155211 is the odd one out as its wheels have the holes further inboard.
I also think that the 'elongation' on XX159 (and also on XX308) is the two bolts either side of each hole merging with the hole in the photo to form an blob on the photo.
Can say with some confidence that these wheels are for some versions on the Hawk but not all?

I think the answer is to do with the spacing of the bolts that hold the two halves of the hub together.
On the original Hawks, including the RAF's T1s, the 12 bolts are evenly spaced around the rim with 6 lightening holes, one between each pair of bolts (albeit very slightly closer to the hub). As the bolt heads accumulate dirt over time, the effect is to make the lightening holes look from a distance as if they are elongated, but if course they aren't really.
On later Hawks, such as the Canadian CT-155s and at least some of the RAF's T2s, the bolts are spaced in adjacent pairs and so the lightening holes are located noticeably closer to the hub: http://tomahawk-design.com/wp-conten...img_9307_1.jpg

Excuse the blatent thread drift please, folks, but in OM15's picture in post #23, the Hawk has some Maple leafy roundels on it. Do the Canadians fly the Hawk as well?
