Hey Guys-
Before I put these up on eBay I thought I'd offer them here. I bought this set of steel wheels and then had them professionally media blasted and powder coated. I then did my research, a little late in the process, and discovered these don't bolt onto a wire wheel car. Different Drums are needed in the rear and different front hubs are required. I have the rear drums, which are tough to find, I obviously have the wheels, I have a set of 4 quality British-made repro hubcaps, and I have a lead on a guy selling a set of the front hubs. So... the hard work has been done :laugh:
Anyway I don't want to do this anymore. If though you have a disc wheel car already, or seriously want to convert your wire wheel car back to disc (mine was original disc but somewhere in history it was converted) then this could be a good solution. These are straight and so pretty it's ridiculous.
Maybe with the Healey Conclave in San Diego someone coming through, on their way to San Diego, could pick them up? I am even willing to ship them but it would likely be $20-$25 per wheel (I am guessing) for shipping. Plus there are hubcaps and rear drums... all of this together makes for some serious weight for shipping.
Here are the pics:
Anyway I have about $800-$900 in this set (wheels, restoration,rear drums, hubcaps). I will consider all offers.
Regards,
Matt-
