Wire wheels

[powel1g]

I have a set of 72 spoke wire wheels taken from my TR6 which I will be posting in the for sale section shortly.

 

Any idea what a reasonable price would be. I am not out to make big money but it would be nice if they went some way to covering the cost of the recent knock on mini lite I have just purchased (just 1).

 

There are four wheels, previously powder coated light grey c/w 165 15 Vredstein Sprint tyres. The tyres all have plenty of tread, but I cannot find a date stamp on them.I is quite likely they are those featured on a receipt dating back to 1986 in my paperwork with the car.

 

Perhaps they would be some use for a show car or moving a resto around? I would not advocate using them on the road. They were on my car when purchased but I gave up trying to find someone sensible to balance them. They car was unused for a fair time so the wheels may not be true?

 

I have tried to be as honest as possible.

 

I have a fifth wheel for free as it has what can only be described as an agricultural repair and a positively solid Pirelli .

 

Your thoughts please.

 

Regards

Hi Gavon,

 

You missed to provide a basic info ... the rim size! I suppose 5½" x 15" if it is a factory option set but to be confirmed as it may not be the original/factory set. At least the tyres are not the original one !

Any information concerning the manufacturer, maybe "Dunlop" or a "MWS"?

Good point. My heritage cert confirms the car was originally supplied with wire wheels. These wheels are indeed 5.5 * 15 but I cannot confirm the provenance. Would I find the makers mark without the tyres coming off?
