Mk3GXL 9 Posted July 15, 2017 Since it's looking a bit doubtful about the 5.5J steel slotted type wheels, plan B is some Rostyle wheels. Ideally the Mk3 type but beginning to get a little concerned I've not got any of the right wheels. It's currently on a set of sport wheels which are definitely wrongfor a Jan 71 car. Anyone got anything ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve E 0 Posted July 15, 2017 I was told the MK3 Rostyles are 5J not 5.5J? I have 2 that have been blasted and a basic primer on but I'm way up North Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comp 0 Posted July 15, 2017 If it's any help to you I've got a very nice set of of mk2 1600E type Rostyle wheels with all new chrome embellisers and new unused 185/70/13 tyres fitted. Because of the new tyres fitted 2 weeks ago I would need £400 for them and they are in South Wales postcode CF41. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibby2000 0 Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) @Mk3GXL. I have a set of four J5.5 Rostyles with no tyres which I was going to put on my Mk3 but now no longer need. They are silver with the black painted inlays, and have four centre caps which are chrome look with the black inlays. They are in reasonably good shape, although could do with a fresh coat of paint, and the centre caps are a bit pitted but perfectly usable. I've got a couple of photos but not sure how to post them here. EDIT: I'm in Thanet, Kent, and looking for about £250 for them if you're interested.

Yes, I'd be interested in them, assuming they're the correct ones. Would like some pictures though first. I'll PM you my email and you can send them direct if it's easier ?
