Title: WTB - Steel wheels (4) for Type 54
Post by: 1808 on Wednesday,July 16, 2014, 04:39:31 PM

I'm looking for a set of steel wheels for a 69 S2.  Round would be good... but I can powder coat them and make them look good.
I'm in N.W. Michigan and could pickup within a reasonable distance.
Thanks
Don

Thanks for the welcome.  I've had the car for about a year and completed a number of projects to preserve it as a driver.  I have a brief blog about the progress at:  http://dshikoski.com/blog/
I've found that the current Triumph wheels have the wrong offset.

I have four that I'm willing to sell for $50 plus shipping. They will have to be straightened, all have the typical dents in the rim.

Welcome Don.   Have you checked with the folks over on Yahoo Groups Europa.  Love the looks of the bread van Europas.  I wish they would have kept the sides..............

Thanks Joji for the offer.  That sounds good except I don't have anyone in my area that can straighten bent wheels.
I guess I need to continue my search on the Yahoo Group.  Thanks for that cal44.
