Didn't want to hijack the other J car thread. but where did you get them? Spent a long time trying to source them, gave up in the end and settled for Minilites, but I'd swap them out tomorrow if I could find a set of these steelies. Any info' appreciated

They off a Corolla?

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

They're off a TR6: They're (as you can see above) usually fitted with trim rings and centre caps and are available in 5.5" and 6" widths, 15" diameter. Mine are 5.5" and still have quite a deep dish. I've also got a pair of 7" ones that have been re'rimmed in the past which a very, very nice R-R member gave to me. I've actually got 2 spare 5.5", 1 spare 7", 1 knackered (egged!) 7" in the garage and one in Heathrow (5.5" or 6"...I'm not sure yet!) which I still need to collect. There's a set on ebay at the moment which look like they might be 6"ers: cgi.ebay.co.uk/TR6-Steel-Wheels-Low-Starting-Price-No-Reserve_W0QQitemZ4592102079Expect to pay between £50 and £100 for a set, they do come up quite often if you're looking.

Cheers rmad.
I did find these during my search, but I needed a 7" rim and they weren't available as standard. Do you know where/who banded them out to 7"?
I also couldn't find any info on the offset or centre hole diameter?
Anyone know?

I'm guessing that these are 114.3. Yes? The search for wheels continues. I noticed that someone posted up some Weller racing steels which also look wicked but checking their website shows they only go up to 13" although they're very wide for stock car racing and the like. They look great.
Black steel deep dished wheels/Celica Supra/Black superlite/minilite. Decisions decisions.

Given the similarity to Weller MOs, you could probably buy a set of those in the size you want
