Deleted User Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 they can be quite expensive, and will be made harder by wanting them close, one idea is that if you plan on going stoneliegh in feb you may be able to get someone to bring a set along.

AJ.Lintern Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 They're quite rare, but they do come up on eBay from time to time. When I got mine they were a bit tatty, so had to shot blast and paint them. I've now got some Revs, unfortunately I don't live anywhere near Norfolk ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 John Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Probably a daft suggestion, but have you asked around at the local Triumph meetings?I mentioned in passing to someone that I was looking for a set of 5.5Js and they said, "oh I've got a set lying around that I don't want, do you want them?" ! What are the chances?! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperate Damson Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yeah i have asked a few people in our group, most people have just have a chuckle when asked. I shall have to keep my eyes peeled.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveKent Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 those ebay ones are way too expensive on the starting bid!! there are3 plenrty of sets of these around if you look hard enough. the trouble is once you start saying "rare" , the sellers seem to believe they have something they can ask stupid money for!i have recently bought two sets of these rims, one set cost me £50, the other £40.you just have to look!!!!

Desperate Damson Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Other than ebay what sort of site are you talking about, i also check the C/T site but you can't look at the TSSC site any longer unless you are a member.CheersPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maph2 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 i might be selling my GT6 5.5's as i've just won a set of alleycats with tyres on ebay. i have a set of 5 (tyres shot) and they'll need refurbing but they are in good condition. picking up new wheels later this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Are these 5.5Js optional wheels then? Thought the standard stock for GT6 was 4.5J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 i THINK they were fitted to a few not many though, most were fitted tith 4.5J as you say. the 5.5J wheels are acualy formula ford wheels....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieB Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Also late Spitfies were fitted with 5JThe 5.5Js come in at least two different offsets btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I was under the impression they were never original fitment. Thought they were sold as an aftermarket goodie. Bit like alloys are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
