 Hi,=20

I read all of the replies so far... if your sanctioning body is very strict=
 on wheel width, there were American Racing Le Mans wheels wheels cast in t=
he 5.5 in width back in the day. They were also cast in 6 inch width as wel=
l as 7 in, depending on what they were being used for. For reference, TR6 s=
tock wheel width is 5.5 inches.

It just so happens that I have a set of 7 of those 5.5 in wheels sitting in=
 my attic that others in the household would love to see find a good home. =
I can get pictures of them, but these appear exactly like the VTO LeMans wh=
eels pictured on the VTO web site - except narrower. The wheels I have woul=
d need to be cleaned up (media blasted) and sealed, but they are all in goo=
d condition with no curb rash at all. I'm in Massachusetts, but they can be=
 shipped pretty reasonably by the usual carriers. Price is negotiable, but =
it would score me points if they move to a new home. ;-)

You would have to get the mounting hardware - these wheels use a barrel-sty=
le lugnut and washer, but those are easy to get via Summit Racing or other =
suppliers.
