Wire wheels

[Phil Robson]

I have two sets of 5 x 14" genuine P6 wire wheels for the 2000 cars & I'm going to dispose of one set.

Before I list them on a well-known online auction site I'm offering them free to anyone on here who will arrange their own collection. I can box them up as individual items for a courier, but I would want some recompense for the hassle of this (perhaps around £50). You would then need to pay the courier for 5 items.

To be clear; they do not come with the splined hubs that you will need to fit them. Also, they are not designed for V8 cars.



Please PM me if you are interested. I am in East Yorkshire. I am happy to forward detailed pictures to anyone who is seriously interested.

Thank you.

If anyone is interested in these I would add that Will Tompkins at Turrino Wire Wheel can most likely make hubs for you. Turrino Wire Wheel Restoration and Manufacture UK | Turrino Wheels

I can supply a pair of front hubs for anyone who takes these. Cost of postage will cover them.

Looking like we’re close to a full kit for someone!

Still don't know why they weren't recommended for the V8
I had some on my Daimler V8 250 -looked amazeballs

I’ve seen quotes saying Rover weren’t convinced they were up to the extra torque. I agree that seems wrong.

As a fan of the law's of physics and therefore also Colin Chapman; I favour the wobble web wheel. (not sure on a P6 mind)

I'd tend to agree, and wires could definitely be made strong enough if they weren't already, after all, V12 E-types had wires as an option.

Yep, and they look to be 72 spoke wheels with 2x crosses which should’ve be up to the job.
