I am looking to buy ONE 255/75R 15 C, as after my crash Fred very kindly lent me one of his to get my G back up and running, but now needs it back so I need to find another one as soon as possible. I don't need a ture, just the wheel.
If anyone has one and is going to the AGM that would be really handy as I am too and could pick it up there
I know i have got the wrong size wheels on my 463 but at the moment, cannot afford to change them over (have been offered the chance to do a straight swap and hopefully will do, but need new tyres then)
Much appreciated if anyone can help

255 x 75 x15 is for a wide alloy wheel as fitted to early 463's as an option. The 16" alloy was standard (I think)

The 15" wide alloys are quite rare - look better than the standard ones and are probably worth more !!!

 Hello Audiominx,

Not wanting to pry into your financial affairs, just a by thought, for you to decide on. Currently, a set of four alloy wheels are for sale on ebay at £400 plus postage. It is the W463 alloys with the spokes sitting on the edge of the rim.

Try:

cheers,

Just been told that they are not actually rarer just understandably people are unlikely to want to split a set.

Thanks for that. 151 Eur is not bad even though I only need one, but I can't afford the £400 ebay ones. Do you have a link to it?
