Steelies Wanted

Post by Tim Leech »

Standard BX one piece items without holes, preferred with no tyres, must be cheapy cheap as they are to be refurbed ready for the DTR to return to its original look.

Dont have to be mint but preferred they dont look they have been on the titanic! :lol:

Thx!

I know you stated originality Tim, but failing BX wheels, could C15 van, or early Berlingo wheels be suitable? Just a thought.

I could get some black wheels and paint them silver as the original Mk1 trims will be going back on, but would prefer correct solid type is possible.

What about the steels off my TGD - I know one of them is now on the TRS estate but the estate might not be needing it shortly?

hi tim i have 2 solid steelies here off my old tgd surplus, they are not in great shape with the outer edge of the rim being quite rusty/crusty but would prob clean up with a wizzy wirebrush, you are welcome to them the tyres are on but u/s, could be a distance issue??

Tell me Tim,
why are you going back to 'originality' as alloys were a spec you could ask for when buying the motor new? They look good on your DTR anyway so why change?
I wont ask if they are for sale though, cant afford them at the moment, got alloys everywhere!!

Hi Andy,

The wheels on the DTR are off the GT (swopped them for the NEC) which is now on a mix and match of metric, nok metric wheels which need to come off and be professionally refurbished, I will look to be using the GT for Scotland soon so want to refit the alloys and put some steels on the DTR for a while.

Thanks for the offer Paul, it's 320 mile round trip though to fetch it back!
