Not all of these cars ran 15" wheels.
But you have to make sure that the offset and backspace is right.
I've seen some Ford rims used on TR racers, but I couldnt
tell you what they came from.

TR6 rims do bend, they also break. However the same is true of any rim that
I'm familiar with, I don't know that the TR6 rims are any worse in this
respect than any other steel rim. 280ZX rims (especially the aluminum alloy
ones) seem to also have problems, judging by what I've seen in the
junkyards.

The mechanic I used to modify my TR6 told me Nissan 280 ZX wheels are an
exact fit for my car. He runs a Nissan race shop and dabbles in Brit cars as
a hobby.
The question came up because 2 of my stock rims were bent. He told me they
were soft and it was a common problem. Anyone heard of that?
