Hi guys. After some cool wheels for my herald as the vittesse ones are looking tired!
Preferably alloys but steels, wellas, turbos etc all welcome.
I'm in Birmingham B37 and looking to spend around £150-£200 max...

Hi - I offered these to dapster but he seems to have dissapeared 5 x weller racing wheels with matching michelin mxt 185/70/r13 tyres wheels stamped 13 weller 95 and s008 4095et12 roughly measured pcd 95mm ish centre bore 65mm very ish front dish (from outer tyre seat to fixing face) 60mm ish rear dish (inner seating face to hub face) 85mm ish rim width looks to measure 6" ish seating face to face so could obviously be 5.5" nominaly tyre tread depth in mm edge centre edge : 1. 5-4-4 2. 5-4-5 3. 8-8-8 4. 4-4-4 5. 5-4-5 pics as well as 1000 words I have not cleaned the rims up so they would look better with a wash one of the tyres has some overspray on it (no.4 / top right wheel in first pic) but its mostly on the tread I think most have some form of surface rust in places and the lacquer in the centres is lifting. wheel and tyre no.3 looks never to have been on the road. overall they are in pretty good nick and with a clean/polish you could run them as is. if putting them on a fresh car, they would benefit from an easy refurb - a good rub down and paint would see them good as new no apparent curbing or buckling and I would guess that they have only had this set of tyres on from new. £120 with tyres £80 without sound reasonable? with post they should still be in your lower budget hopefully. interested?

Very interested!! Price sounds spot on So have you had these actually on a car?! My Herald is lowered to the ground so worried a little about clearance on the rears... Also concerned about what appears to be a crack/split on number 4, can you enlighten me atall?! Thanks, Pedro

Got a set of 5 four-spoke Image rims 5.5x13 off a Banks Europa (Lotus). Very good condition with track day tyres (proper ones, not bald road ones...) that have some tread left. I think they're worth more but would let them go for £200 for a quick and easy sell.
Don't know if they'd fit but they'd look damn cool.
I'm in Gloucester but can get them to B50 as I work at Bidford-upon-Avon nr Stratford-upon-Avon.

.. ..on a car?... worried a little about clearance on the rears... ....crack/split on number 4.... hey Pedro - I have not had these on a car, I bought them from ebay advertised as 4x98pcd and when I finally got them they were not afraid there is nothing onsite I can put them on, my last triumph went to germany about 10 years ago there are dish etc measurements in my post you could always try to dummy up the size on your car with a tape measure and some sticky back plastic not sure what you mean about no.4 , are you talking about the line in the last picture? all of the rims are the same, it is from where the rims are welded together in manufacture, you can see the ground down weld line on the rear of all the wheels and also a corresponding line on the face. don't think you have anything to worry about in the fatigue department - looking at them i would guess 1,2,4,5 have only done the 5 or 10k the tyres are worn by and 3 has never been fitted to a car. best regards mel
