JTY Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Dear all Does anyone have an idea where I could source a set of 15 x 6 Cosmic alloys for my TR6 (see attached pic)? Haven't seen one for sale for a while now... Many thanks Jeroen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 TR Tom from the TR-freun.de had them on his TR, now he fitted steel wheels. I ask him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks Jeroen Hi, are these any good https://www.randr-alloys.co.uk/classic-alloys/cosmic/cosmic-5.5x15.html edit, maybe no good as the look like 5 stud but maybe worth a phone call.

saffrontr Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Shame they don't do the 4 stud. I had the 6" Cosmics on my 6 for many years and regret getting rid of them now. They were virtually impossible to balance mind you and I needed to run them with 1/4" spacers on the front. I looked forever to get the 5.5" version which worked without spacers but failed so guess they must have been very rare. cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR Paul Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hi Jeroen, They are very smart wheels... I had a set on an Austin A35, & they transformed the look of the car. I can only suggest keeping an eye on ebay, & maybe a 'wanted' ad in TRaction magazine, & the classified section of this forum. Good Luck with your search, Best wishes, Paul.

JTY Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Dear all Many thanks for your advice and help. Will keep looking. @Kevo_6 The JBW is a slightly different version too, because of them being 5 stud instead of 4. @saffrontr Didn't know the 15 x 6 needed spacers up front. Do you remember what ET they were? Best regards Jeroen Edited September 28, 2019 by JTY typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I've been looking for some years. The last set I saw went on eBay about two years ago for around £650 if I remember rightly. I know of a set in storage but again the owner doesn't want to sell them. I've wondered about re-drilling the hubs to take five studs.......i'm surprised that someone doesn't offer hubs either un-drilled or in different stud configurations. Best of luck in your search.

michaeldavis39 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just found a different style of Cosmic but look like the size your after https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T25-Camper-Cosmic-5-5x15-Black-Machined-Alloy-Wheels-x-4-NEW-/142534752118 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Sorry just had another look and the wheels I found were 5 hole not 4. Good luck finding the ones you want. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Jeroen, The backspace on the 6" Cosmics is 4". you might get away with not using spacers, I didn't and it was usually when reversing and turning that they caught on the upper wishbone hence my use of a spacer on the front. Best of luck in your search. Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR Paul Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi Jeroen, I've just spotted your 'wanted' ad on the forum classified section; it might help you to know that this style of wheel is the 'Cosmic Mk2' (they were made from the late '60s 'til the early '80s). Good luck finding the wheels of your dreams! Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JTY Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks, @TR Paul! New info to me. I wasn't aware these are Mk2 Cosmics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim T Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Good choice of wheel! I had them on my 5 back in the 70s/80s. Good luck trying to find them. All three of the cars in the image, taken at Donnington, are still on the road I belive. Certainly both of the 5s. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KOB Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have a set of 4 Revolution alloys that I have been hording for too long, I may sell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdrianH Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 As an aside there's a thread running on Pistonheads about Cosmic accessories, with contributions from the founder's son. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
