Default new wheels needed, classic

After a refurbishment disaster - another story - i need some new wheels for my classic.
Been to my local alloy wheel supplier and they only have a small range to fit my 99 classic
Looking for gold wheels 17", prefer 5 or 6 spokes, and that fit properly.

Alternatively some good used wheels without tyres, blobeye WRX work well or a 6 spoke Prodrive wheels, need to be in original condition and not banged about

Anyone recommend a wheel or have some for sale

I'm in the Nottingham area

Cheers

After scouring ebay and local breakers i bit the bullet and bought some new 6 spoke 17" revolutions for the wagon.

I dont really trust used wheels and the ones i looked at had all started cracking in the usual places on the spokes
I may start a thread on the subject of cracking wheels and see if any others have experienced it.

I'll post a picture up when they are fitted.

Default Job sorted with 6 spoke Revolutions

Cheers anyway, but these were already ordered, and as far as i can tell this was the last set Revolution had in.

Anyway i think i made the right choice as these suit my wagon perfectly, really pleased with them.


Not the prettiest of paintwork but the old wagon is almost mechanically perfect, only the clutch kit to drop in now.




Close up of wheel with my Godspeed goodies twinkling behind.
