Wheel
Hi
Just took my Car to garage after hitting a pot hole and told my Wheel was buckled and the spare will not fit the Car,
Series 2 1955
1 Can the wheel be fixed
2 Where can I purchase 2 wheels
Thanks

Re: Wheel
Are the wheels 4" PCD ? If so - plenty about and quite often given away free! If the earlier 4.5" PCD then they are a bit more rare and harder to source.... So - out with the tape measure!

Re: Wheel
that late i would expect them to be 4" however do the current rims have "pips" to hold on the hub caps.. if so they might be slightly more difficult to find.. but still as cheap. of course most people will not be able to tell / see the difference but i am not sure if the hub caps differ.

Re: Wheel
If it's actually buckled it will need replacing, however if there is just a dink in the rim it can be beaten back into shape with a ball peen hammer.
What state was the tyre in?

Re: Wheel
it may seem easier to ask do your wheels have the extra hole to adjust the brakes through, and 3 little pips to locate the wheel hub cap fi so they are early type ?
I have one if you have this style.
I got a spare then the guy who I got the car from found the original so I have 2.
