Chrome spoke wheel for spare

[Healey65]

Does anyone know where I can pick up a used 15" chrome spoke wheel for a spare tire on my BJ8? I've tried the usual sources, British Wire Wheel, and Hendrix, but no luck. I would like to dress up the trunk for the car shows.

Hi HLY65, Give E-bay a try I see them quite frequently on there.---Keoke

Healey 65,
I might have one for sale in a couple of weeks if you can wait a little while. PM me if you are interested.

... It is a 60 spoke dunlap chrome plated wheel

 

[healeynut]

out of curiousity, is the spare in a BJ8 48 spokes or 60 spokes? The PO of my BJ8 gave me a 48 spoker.

The original wheels on my BJ8 were all 60 spoke painted wheels. That included the spare.

Hi Ed. Yes, I'm interested. The 60 spoke would do just fine. Let me know when you are ready to sell. My email address is dennisr@wi.rr.com . Thanks

I went to Hendrix Wire Wheel today and brought home my tires on a new set of Dayton wire wheels. I was able to save two of the four chrome spoked Dunlap wheels which would look good in the boot as a spare. I would not recommend that anyone run them all of the time because eventually those brittle chrome plated spokes would start breaking, especially if mounted on the rear axle.
Healey65 gets first refusal on one of them but the other one is for sale for $150.00 plus actual shipping. They have been used 5,000 miles or about 9 months even though they were purchased in London in the mid 1970s. They are 60 spoke 15 inch chrome with chrome plated spokes.

Glad you got the wheels. Can't wait to see them on your car.
