Alex Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I really wanted to get some tr6 wheels but I'm a bit concerned that if I did they could rub whats the chances? :-/If I were to find a set of stag alloys what sort of money would I be expected to pay ?I'd really like a set with useable tyres although barely legal would suffice as long term I'd be looking to fit a quality set of tyres, dont mind having to clean them up as long as they are round and are going to hold air.Cheers Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy thompson Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Old Stag alloys are generally worth what they weigh in Aluminium.... however in reality they are often overpriced, very tricky to balance, leaky and corroded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 mmm...thats not exactly good points then :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Maybe worth about £100 for a set with legal tyres if you're lucky? Try to get wheelnuts thrown in - another £40 or so if you have to buy new.They do look good however. Plus moving up to 14" gives a better choice of modern rubber - quite a choice in 195/70/14.

andy thompson Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 BUT if your spending your hard earned on a set of S/H alloys there are better ones around... unless you are very attached to getting Stag style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I know of Mk2 with TR6 wheels on and they don't rub. They've got super-shit wheel trims on in this pic. mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorsten Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi,my experience with TR6 wheels (and 185/65 tyres) is: On the Mk1 PI (original track width) no problems at all, on the Mk2 Estate it looked pretty narrow in the rear but still ok, while the scruffy front wheel arches (maybe in conjunction with the slightly weak dampers) actually left marks in the tyre walls.RegardsThorsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 I thought there was an issue with clearence on tr6 rims dependent on if the car was an early or late mk2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorsten Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Mine is an early one - 1971. Doesn't the face lifted cars have a greater riding height, therefore possible more room for the wheels?RgdsThorsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
