Tim Bancroft Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 I am sure that many will not agree with me here, I'd go for a set of 195 tyres, no need to go to wide, these cars only weigh approx. 1150kg-no need for massive tyres. Handling will be progressive and wet weather ability will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks guys - it will be a pure cost decision on tyres for the TR6 rims so cheap is good :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I;ve never seen the hub caps on them, don't look so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishbull Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 MK1'S dont suit stag alloys got be period,original hubcaps if pi or revolutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2500 Stiffler Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Ah, not bad - they look like Ginetta wheels.I've still got the anonymous 13 inchers that came with (but not on) my 2500S if anyone is interested... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I agree with Tim...dont use 205 section tyres on a saloon 195 is the best all rounder any thing wider just tramlines too much...plenty of grip with 195 ..use 50 ,55 ,or 60 profile eg 195/60/15 is the equiv of the old 185 x 13 in terms of rolling diameter. My personal preference of wheels on a MK1 are Revolutions / cosmics / minilights in that order...NEVER Stag alloys or any other modern wheels.....YUK !!!

Mine are 14 inchers nobbled from an MGB!Got a set of 4 spoke revs to go on but no nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogothdon Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I always fancied wolfrace style alloys for my mk1, but nobody has mentioned them, so I presume they look rubbish..... Any pics anyone?Donald. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2500 Stiffler Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I got a side profile shot of a Trumf and lifted pics of wheels from everywhere. I then grafted them together in "paint" and dismissed the ones that looked naff.Killed 5 minutes of boredom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I can't quite tell what these are, but I love the look of dark wheels with polished rims; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 They look like the American Racing Torque Thrust style wheels you get on Mustangs. Have to say, they look stunning on that MK1 and a nice alternative to Revolutions.Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-man Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I think they might actually be four spoke 'Dragways', which were fairly popular in Oz on seventies muscle cars (the five spoke version, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Quite nice really, kinda suit the stateside car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Harris Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Can someone post a pic of my wheels ?, never seen another triumph with them on, could 15x7 ml compomotives get away with 195/50/15 `s i`m thinkin of changing my dunlops to ml`s and have a new set of 195`s in the shed.

Tim Bancroft Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'd think they would be too wide, why not buy a set 6'' MLs?Jason,The estate car is in Aus.Don't royal blue cars look great with decent polished rim alloys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 no point in 7" with 195 - when 195 will fit perfectly on 6" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows40 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 these re the wheels on my mk1 thanks to richard b only 13" but i think they look ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2500 Stiffler Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Those are the puppies I've got going spare in my garage - only they don't look in quite such good nick!I really must clean them up and then get them on the classified board so a Mk1 owner can make good use of them (no good on my 2500S) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sorbington Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I think I'd be a bit worried about driving around on an old set of used alloys. My experiences of old cars with old alloys aren't good. Even if you can stop them leaking, they still corrode and look a mess. Probably an illogical fear, but as I say, I've been there!SAH, I like the wheels on your car, definately the best so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
