TR6 Aftermarket TR6 Steel Wheel

Hello All,
I have a steel wheel inquiry that I know the answer to but will ask anyway.

Is anyone aware of aftermarket steel wheels available for a TR6? What about steel wheels with same offset and lug pattern but cosmetically different?

The reason for my inquiry is I have two wheels that I just discovered are bent (explains why they balance but continue to shake). I've located replacements that run true with a moderate amount of rust on them so before I spend the effort sandblasting and painting the replacements, I thought I'd ask the forum about replacements.

I appreciate the input on this!

There are a variety of wheel available that have a 4 bolt pattern that will fit and many have the same offset as required. I think that someone here had a listing and posted it once, but I never bookmarked it. I'll look around and see if I can find it.
 
Hi Ron,

I've sought for this myself (for the winter rubber). But I must admit it wasn't easy locating and trying wheels on. My most promising prospect right now is a set of used TR-wheels from Sweden.
I got plenty of help from this forum, and I'll pass it on.

TR6 bolt circle on the 15" wheels is 4 on 4.5". But in addition to correct circle and spacing, the wheels also need to clear the brake calipers and suspension, and the standard TR-wheels have almost no offset.

Here's a list of what seems as other cars with the same bolt circle. I make no claims that it is accurate or complete; and it does not consider wheel size or offset. It's also rather out of date. But it might be helpful as a starting point.
