Anyone interested?

They are wider rears as fitted to sport e39s and 17" diameter.

No tyres and selling really as a project for someone. Them needs refurbing - I have the correct colour Wurth paint (not too dark as o you often see apparently) and laquer which you can have and if you can donate a couple of days to the them they could be pretty good.

Any interested parties and I'll take some piccies and post em up.

Cheers

Geoff

Yes indeed. Story goes..... A split in that rim appeared on the eve on our nurburgring adventure in 2008.

I had it pulse welded by some superb chaps at Armstrong Engineering in a panic to catch the ferry from Newcastle which got me on the road to Germany, 8 laps of the ring then thousands of miles touring with the tent in the back. All went swimmingly but about a year later I noticed I was losing a couple of psi every so often out of that wheel so guessed it was time for a better repair.

TIG'd and dressed by me with a flap wheel...nearly finished but just realised Im gonna be 80 by the time Ive finished them and I need to buy some bits and bobs for the locost...
