WTB: One 5.5 x 14 Fuchs wheel

[JDCW72]

I know that there are not lots of these lying around, however, I need only one to be used as a full sized spare. Genuine forged Fuchs is preferred but as it's a spare, a replica may have to be acceptable. Please let me know with condition and price.
Thanks,
John

John
I currently have one and its my spare, it is probably useless to me as I have 15x6 all around and if I did need to limp home I suspect it would be ok on front, but if I had a rear need I'd just get it towed.

So I really need a 15x6, so if you have a spare one of those I'd be happy to trade or if there is a difference I need to make up , that too

Good suggestion, Shane.
I'll see if I can lay my hands on a 6 x 15 and will let you know.

John, I have a 15x6 deep dish (with heart)... If you can find me a 15x7... yadda yadda yadda

Hi John,
This could turn into a children's game. I think I have a couple of 7 x 15's but I think they are painted. Still interested? I'll check them tomorrow. Do you have more than one 6x15?
Regards,
John

Hi John

My 15x6 deep is my current spare, I bought it of Geoff Eastern a couple of years ago as just a single spare - so no, just the one... It is original with some minor scuffing.

I am fine with a painted 15x7 as I will be refinishing all of my wheels...

How are the musical chairs now everyone?

[Fishcop]

PS If you have 2, I'd be happy to take the other and square you up the difference $$...

[JDCW72]

John, I have just checked and I do have two 7x15's which you are welcome to. I am sure both will restore well but one is better than the other. Have a look at them and if they are ok, I'll swap my two for your one.
If you are watching this high-powered transaction, Shane, would John's 6x15 suit you?
Regards,
John

[Fishcop]

Done!

And I'll cover the cost of getting the wheel to Shane.

[JDCW72]

That's fine, John. Would you like me to drop them over to you on the week-end (or whenever it's convenient)?

[Fishcop]

I've got a wagon, happy to come by and drop off also Actually, I've got tomorrow off..?

[JDCW72]

So do I. You know where I live and you have my mobile number. Any time before midday would be fine.
See you then.

[Fishcop]

John, I'll bring the rim around for your inspection - there is a crusty old Falken tyre on the rim which I'll have removed. Like I said, I'm happy to ship the rim to Shane on our behalf.

You-hoo Shane?

[JDCW72]

That's fine, John. I am sure the 6 x 15 will be fine.
Shane, I'll photograph the wheel and send the images to you. If it's not what you want, I'll keep it as I have 6x15's front and rear on the '72T. If you want to swap for the 5.5 x 14 (I almost forgot what started all this) that would be great. I am unsure of the relative value of the 14 vs 15 inch Fuchs and I would be happy to make up any difference. I hope that suits.
Regards,
John

I think Fishcop scored on this deal. 15 x 7's !! and John dont start argueing about the date stamps on them.
