16" 8 spoke Weller Wheels

[Lazy-Ferret]

Anyone know where I can get one of these in white.

All I know is it is 16", 6 hole, and it must take a 225 75 16 tire, plus fit a Mk1 Terrano, but after that, I have no idea on the OffSet, or where I might find one for sale. Price wise, I would prefer 2nd hand, but I guess, I will probably need to go new to get the right thing.

Anyone help?

Cheers, I already have 4 on the T1, but need a matching spare...

Still a bit undecided, as the ones on it, have seen better days, and really need repainting, The problem is, they have red and blue pin-striping running round the wheel rim, so I would loose that.

So I am really trying to decide if I either need to spend out on one more, plus get the others painted, or buy a set of 5 alloys, like were advertised on here the other day, but need to be down this end of the country, so I can pick them up.

tyres direct may sell just one or look on ebay. Not too much new.

I managed to pick up 4 similar wheels on Ebay, which are in a bit of a state, so I will clean them up and re-spray them.

But... I have another question...

While they look identical, even to the fine red and blue lines painted round the outer rim, they do not have Weller stickers.

When I put a straight edge on them to measure the offset, I discover that the new ones are about 9mm smaller diameter, and the dish, measured from the front, as the original wheels are still on the car, is about 9mm deeper.

Firstly, when measuring the diameter, should it be the absolute outside edge, or the bit the tyre bead sits on. The same goes for the width, is it total width from outside edge to inside edge, or again the bit where the tyre sits.

Now I know I need to measure it all up properly, but if the offset is 10mm different, should I use 10mm spacers on the other wheels to make them the same, ignore it and just use it as a spare, or bin them and get different wheels?,

I'd get the tyres fitted, diameter is not important, ie they wil either be 15 or 16 inch

The width is measured from inside to inside lip across the rim

You can add 10mm spacers at a later date if you need, they are not expensive

Cheers,

Once they are cleaned and painted, I might fit all 4, and then keep one of the orig ones as the spare, with a spacer, so should we need it, it will be OK, but for the majority of the time, we would not need it, that way.
