hispetdog Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 What were the original wheels fitted to the GT6 MK2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Rostyle wheel trim, I think 4.5"J x 13 plain wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herald948 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Right, specifically Dunlop wheels, with "LP875" stamped on the face of the hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Knock on wire wheels was an optional extra, but not recommended for vigorous driving ??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hispetdog Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Where would I source the right wheels? Any pictures?I'll need to save up for those wire ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 The wheels were basically the same as GT6 Mk1 wheels, which were the same as Herald and Spitfire 4.5J wheels, but with Rostyle wheeltrims added. A set of 4.5J Herald wheels will do the job if you find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hispetdog Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thanks for that. Can you still buy the wheel trims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Try Spitfire Graveyard he may have some S/H ones.As Charlie says the oval hole ones were fitted to Spitfire MkIV / 1500 & GT6 MkIII. You want plain ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzy Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 are these the ones needed ? obviously with trim not hubcap ?they cost me a fiver each from anglian triumph. 4.5j they came off a vitesse i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I believe Vitesse MkII's had the same Rostyle wheel trims, so I would say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Be careful although similar I think there are three differant versions of the wheel trim. Stag, 2.5PI and Vitesse MkII & GT6 MkII. Stag has the valve hole further out than the 2.5PI, 2.5PI had 5.5"J x 13, whereas Vitesse & GT6 had 4.5"J x 13. Hence a differant offset.Vitesse MkII & GT6 MkII are the same.
