For the 1960s Spitfire/GT6 owners out there, this may be an opportunity to get a set of Silverstones (as well as some parts and RUST) cheap.

NFI.

Those are pretty cool wheels.....too bad they won't fit my TR..

 

[CinneaghTR]

Silverstones are nice lookin' wheels, aren't they? Somebody needs to repro those.

Yeah, there has been a lot of talk about Silverstones for TRs on the forum so I thought the Spitfire/GT6 folks needed a heads up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Heck, they would look good on a Herald/Sports 6, too!

 

[CinneaghTR]

Oh yeah, and too bad they are in California!! (for me at least!) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

They sure do look like Silverstones. And as dark as the spokes look they might even be magnesium. Had a set just like that on my 67GT6. Loved them!!

Hope they are in better shape than the rest of the car. The red gt6 from florida on ebay is tempting.......

Wonder if they would clear the front brakes on my TR8? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/square.gif

[/ QUOTE ]Guess it's all relative, depending on what part of the world you're in. Here in the salt belt of upstate NY, this particular GT6 looks almost Concours! (OK, there's some obvious rust and possibly other damage on the rear valence area....)

But nothing like picking up four RARE wheels for a good price and getting an entire parts car FREE! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My wife's Spitfire would go up hills better as a Spitsix!
Especially with nice wheels.....

Nice, but for me, nothing beats a set of wires on a Spit or GT6. Can't beat 'em. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
