240 alloys or early pre-81 steel wheels wanted

redboy · Apr 8th, 2011, 14:41

Hi all,

I've had 'ovalled wheel bolt' disease on BOTH of my front tyres! I think they've been like that for decades, but I've only figured out that was what was causing the annoying vibration after having the tyres balanced for the third time!

I am looking for either an old style pre-81 steel wheel with the clips for the hub cap or:
a set of 14" alloys that my tyres would fit on- I think they were either Coronas or the ones on the Torslanda? Others would know better.
I only recently had new tyres put on, so am not really wanting to go to 15 inch wheels and have to buy a whole new set of tyres.

...but if you have a set of Virgos with good tyres, I'd be interested in those too! I just can't justify buying a whole new set of tyres as mine are nearly new.

many thanks!
