Wheely need this one
Hi
I have 5.5 x 15 fitted -- told they were the original Volvo 6" race wheels -- probably a lot of old bo++ock but one of them is buckled Has anyone got a second-hand one lurking about they want to part with ?? |

Picture? Part number? 5.5 is obviously not 6" so judgement is reserved over the description................

The wheels look like this-------
http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/ot...tml?state=copy They appear to be 15 x 6" not 5.5"- having taken a measurement now the rain has finally stopped I know the guy used to race Duetts and Amazons and said the wheels were rare? Anyway -- looking for one of these if anyone has one |

Wheel
That wheel will be very difficult to find.
Not a Volvo part. A long time ago the rim was made by Dunlop in India, then the wheel was assembled by Motor Wheel Services. They cannot do it anymore. Get the buckled wheel straightened. |

A racing Duett, now that would be a sight to see.
The rim width is measured across the inside of the edge of the wheel. 1.e. where the tyre bead seats. Unless you have a big pair measuring callipers it's difficult to get any idea of the width. Best to have the tyre off for that. As asked, if there is a part number stamped on the centre on the inside that would help and it should also have the size stamped there too. If it says Lemmerz - 1538 - 5 1/2" x 15, you do indeed have one of the rare "kronprins" wheels. Hard to find, but someone may have an odd one. Nice Firenza! |

Hi
Thanks the Firenza took 2 years to get like that -- I have a feeling this will take longer. The wheel is at a wheel repairer-- dropped it off today --will get the news in next couple of days I guess. I will still be looking for a spare even then.. even a 5.5 I measured with callipers and it came to 6 " but when I get it back -- it will have been measured accurately. As for the Duett -- sorry I have just seen a piccie of one and that is an estate-- my mistake-- no it was -- no it was a saloon thing a 444? it was championed by a Guy called Liam Murphy from Kildare at Mondello Park--he is starting to do it up again You will have to excuse my ignorance with Volvos -- and numbers !!! sorrry Last edited by CLIVERALLY; Jun 11th, 2014 at 13:13. |
