I am looking for a set of Late Spitfire or GT6 Wheels, Stock.

I don't care if it is even a whole set I just would like a second set to mount the snow tires I have on.

Instead of swapping Tires and paying for balancing and everything, I would just swap wheels.

Anything from the Spitfire MK4 / 1500 Or the GT6 MK3.

I know one is 1/2 inch wider than the other. But I forget witch.
 
Basically, it's only the very late (1979ish-1980) Spitfire wheels that are 5" wide; all others from 1971 on are 4.5" wide. Note also that all GT6s in the US always had 4.5" wide wheels, wire or steel disc. Spitfires had 3.5" wide wheels 1963-69, and shared the "solid" steel 4.5" wheels with the GT6 for 1970.
