<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">I wonder how many of us have been hoarding wheels like Bob mentions . I have a 5 1/2” set of Minilites in magnesium, a 5” set of Silverstones, a 6 “ set of Libres, a 7” NOS set of Shelby American 8 spokes, 2 7” sets of American Racing slotted mags (we use those on the ChampCar TR6), and a set of 5.5” Dan Gurney Victory GT slots (4” backspace). I also gave a set of circle track style 15x6 wheels that came on my first racecar. I should probably find a use for some of these because I use Koenig Rewinds 15x7 on my street cars and use VTO mini lite replicas on the racecar. <div><div><br></div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">You only get one chance at life, make it a TRIUMPH.</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Dec 22, 2023, at 10:46 AM, Robert Lang via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="ydp96d1fc4fyahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div></div>
<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hi, <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">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 the 5.5 in width back in the day. They were also cast in 6 inch width as well as 7 in, depending on what they were being used for. For reference, TR6 stock wheel width is 5.5 inches.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">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 wheels pictured on the VTO web site - except narrower. The wheels I have would need to be cleaned up (media blasted) and sealed, but they are all in good 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. ;-)<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">You would have to get the mounting hardware - these wheels use a barrel-style lugnut and washer, but those are easy to get via Summit Racing or other suppliers.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Bob Lang</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">339-927-4489<br></div><div><br></div>
