!3" Steel Wheel
Hi All, need a bit of help please.
I have a damaged wheel that needs replacing.
The wheel in question is a...
Steel 13" x 5 1/2 J (see pics)
63 mm i/d
108 mm pcd, 4 stud.
ET 20
It would be helpful to know what car these were from so I could search eBay,
OR
Does anyone have one that they would be prepared to sell me? (tyre not needed)
Many thanks in anticipation,
Paul G

Mk1 Lotus Cortina 5.5J rims probably Paul, like rocking horse droppings these days. They fetch about £400 a set on ebay in decent condition.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If they are rare, that dent looks perfectly fixable on a steel wheel!

Yeah I was just going to say it looks repairable.

A little hard work never killed anyone, but why take the risk!

Yeah that is a little dent tbh you should see what I have hammered out of steel Landy wheels and they work just fine. I put the rim over a piece of
scaffold tube and carefully bend it back. Trick is not to hit the rim directly but to have an old socket, bits of metal etc against the rim and hit
that instead so you don't make any marks in the metal. Take your time and bolt it back onto to front hub to give it a spin to see how your
doing. A lot easier to fix than it looks.
