Speedline wanted!
Re: Speedline wanted!
Surely a set of 'steelies' would serve to keep going? The rolling O/D of pretty much the entire range must be similar, only difference is width. A 175/60 will certainly fit on a 165/70 width rim, the steely std rim seems to be 5.5J X 14". These must be much easier to source.

Re: Speedline wanted!
Yes, you're right of course, and I do have some steelies, too many in fact, but I have mislaid the wheel bolts amongst the myriad of car bits that seem to have accumulated over the years, and the Speedlines look so much better and I only need one.

The gentleman who broke my old J-HUF may still have the wheels. Details here: http://www.bx16v.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2419

Re: Speedline wanted!
In order to have a full matching set of four, we ideally need two graphite ones. Do you have those available, please?

Re: Speedline wanted!
It's great to get responses and to know that people in the BX community communicate with each other, but regrettably so far I have been unable to get my hands on some wheels. Does anyone have any graphites they'd like to sell? Thanks in anticipation.

Re: Speedline wanted!
I've been lucky and had the wheels repaired, at WheelWorks near Gatwick. I thought they were too badly damaged. I can recommend WheelWorks if anyone requires wheel refurbishing or repairs. My spare is a silver, so if anyone has a graphite that they want to straight swap with my silver, let me know.
