Used 17" (or 15") wheels

Darren C · 12-14-07, 08:21 AM

I've been driving my new "baby" for a couple of months now, and think it's time to improve a few bits. The wheels / tyres are not up to scratch, so....

I would like some 17" (or 15") wheels to fit a Tornado. Before I get pounced on, I know Tornado sell them, but prior to coughing up for new, I thought I'd put the feelers out to see if anyone has some used wheels they would like to move on. Call it recycling if you will!.

Thanks in anticipation.

According to the Vintage Wheels website

Quote:

Vintage Wheels are one piece pressure cast aluminum manufactured in permanent dies from the highest quality materials to TUV, DOT standards with ISO certification.

Is this UK approved or just US?

The vintage wheels are not US made.

They are made in South Africa.

Thanks
