mowerman Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Can anyone shed any light on these wheels on this Vitesse? I think they look really good with the lowered suspension and are possibly MK3 Spit wheels? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 They are 5.5J GT6 pattern (oval hole) wheels.Usually about £100 a set on Ebay, but you can catch a set for much less sometimes.Sought after for most Spitfires/Vitesses/GT6's etc ......CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Made by Dunlop and very nice. Also featured on early Formula Ford cars as the front suspension on these cars as they use the Herald upright, therefore the PCD was the same. Many traders knock them out as well- be preppared to pay more though from these sources.Might be an idea to use Weller holed 5.5J steels as similar in design but £45ish a wheel new.

Beans Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 If i am correct the Wellers are much lighter than the Dunlops ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 @ £450 a pair I would expect them to be Gold-Plated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 He also says that they're a great alternative to the heavier modern alloy wheels... it may just be me but I thought alloy's were usually lighter than steels.Even if they are actually new (rather than recon) I can't see them being worth more than any other wheels of the same kind, so I recon he'd get £50 max for them, maybe a bit more as they're apparently 'new'.
