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.

Also some early MK1 mexico, RS2000 RS1800 and twin cam escorts, MK2 Lotus and GT Cortina.

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

Yeah I was just going to say it looks repairable.

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.
