TR6 Aftermarket TR6 Steel Wheel

[71TR6]

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.

I bought a replacement wheel for the same reason from Vicky Brit or Moss, probably Moss. It was better quality than the original, in regards to the welding of the hoop on the backside. I just looked at them, wow they have gone up in price.

Probably cheaper to restore a couple.

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 It's also rather out of date.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.
