Default T5 Alloy wheels

Wanted at least 2 off T5 16" Standard alloy wheels 5 -studs. Suit 1996 model. Recently had new tyres fitted & they keep going flat. I've been told the wheels need refurbishing as they have corroded, but refurb prices are astronomical. Can anybody help.

Hello Steve

I think I have 4 Columbas paid £80 for them never used with tyres on and would be happy to get my $ back

Would need to check they retain pressure ( front on my T5 does not hence weekly use of RAC 900 ) and if you provide an email or Wattsapp I will try and get my daughter to send pics

Might also be able to assist with delivery as little bro does regular runs to South Wales, sure for the price of a few pints he would oblige

Oh and worse still I just used Ultimate Alloys in Wickford for my refurb - £275 for 4 and the quality of workmanship is derisory

Best in Essex they tell me - God help anybody who has the misfortune to go anywhere else in the county - I would have been much better off getting the tyres removed and doing if myself

Hey there,

Apologies, hate to jump on someone else's post, but if Stevepcar isn't interested in these, I know someone who might be?

We're the other end of the country, but would be happy to arrange courier if the wheels tick the boxes.

Thanks

Not a problem you are second in line, unless of course it was you who ebayed a Saffy couple of years ago and did not honour my bid !

No problem, appreciate that.

Fortunately the eBay issue was nothing to do with me - which also means unfortunately I've never owned a saffy!!

Not a fan of the 'Bay' - account was hacked in the past, and it took me months to sort it with the Admins, never used it since!

Regards

Hi all

Just to mention that there are two 16 inch T5 wheels.

Perfo and Columba.

They look very similar (most obvious difference is that on the Perfo, the tyre valve sits halfway between two spokes, but on the Columba it sits near one spoke).
Part numbers will be cast somewhere on the inside hub boss.

Perfos will fit over larger (302) front brake discs, but the Columbas will not.

HTH
Steve

I said I would not hold my breath

Fanny who is stuck in Suffolk doing nothing on 100% pay is going to give them a scrub and pump today - she has been busy !

She called on her mums phone cos her# has packed. I keep thinking is there a possible link between her doing something for me and her phone packing up ?

Will mail when images received, apologies
