Wheels Wanted

www.superformance.co.uk have 16" reproduction original style wheels.

Options are limited for reproduction 16's. Super performance is about it I believe. They are very heavy and the shape isn't perfect.
Originals are rare and expensive; but you sometimes see them pop on eBay. Eurospares and other breakers may be a possibility.

 

why not keep it on 14s?

 

That's what I reckon too. I feel my car drives better on the 14s than the 16s, but it's possibly a hard comparison to make because, obviously, the tyres are different too.

There is a set on Ebay now..

At 695 pound (Approx A$1,070) I'd buy a new set from superformance.

Yes, and I had to machine my front wheels. They don't fit snuggly on the front hubs. I had mine machined out and bushed and re machined to be a nice snug fit, mainly because I only use mine for track work so high speed so don't want any out of balance. You can pull them up straight providing you are even doing the wheel nuts up.

 

I can't help with the wheels, just keep looking on ebay and the Superformance ones are at least in the spirit of the originals.

Would anyone be interested in breaking up a set of Superformance wheels? I would like one single 16 X 7.

Oh, and the pics show the real ones btw

 

Terry Keays @ SIlverstone had a set on Ebay just unsold

 

Pretty certain Superformance will sell you a single wheel.

Carl, if you need a wheel in the short term you are more than welcome to use one of mine. They are at Phil's, you'll just need to remove the R tyre and put your tyre on.

 

They were 14s

 

They wouldn't sell me anything, was referrred to HP for wheels.

 

Well, that's mighty fine of you Bretty Bunghole. Thank you, but it's OK. The wheel is simply to make a set of 5 wheels, I'd like a matching spare for the Qv. Hmmmm, now I think about it, why don't I just use the set of four you have, and use your tyres, it's not like you'd know right!

Amazingly, individual wheels are very cheap, I paid just 130 pounds for a genuine Campagnolo 16 X 7 for the set of genuine wheels I have:
