viper wheel

[zubair]

hi does any one have a spare wheel with tyre for a viper gts.or even a set of 4 with tyres for sale in uk.thanks

[Viper]

in general wheels are hard to come by over here, and rarely appear for sale, are you after 17 or 18 stock rims?

i know a few guys already waiting for both sizes

[zubair]

hi.i think i have on the car 17 on front and 18 on rear.they are the ones that are on the car but i have no spare wheel of any type.if a nice set of wheels came up i would change them and keep them as spare set.

Drop DennisACR a line - he has wheels and tyres going spare, see
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... for tyres.
Okay, he's not in the UK, but Germany's not that far away.

I've got lots of 17" wheels / tires. Including complete Viper set of 3 spoke wheels and caps, and some brand new in the box. I wouldn't be wanting a lot of money for them, havn't got around to listing on ebay. Email me through the link here if interested.

in the boot should be a skinny sized spare, only good for around 40mph though

hi ned tried sending you an email i would be intrested in the wheel with tyre for a spare.the set that i have on the car is chrome but very similar to the stock wheels for a 97 gts.do you a pic of the new set that you have if they are not the same as mine i would be intrested.thanks

[zubair]

no the boot is clean there is nothing there except a bootle for metnol for the roe racing supercharger and an amp.

Same as these wheels below, stock GenI RT10. They are 17" and will fit straight on any stock-brakes GTS, but if you have fitted any big brake caliper with larger 14" discs they will not fit! I always carry a front wheel for a spare, as it could be used front or rear if you get a puncture, and away from home (with non-directional tread pattern). Carry it face down and you can fit luggage items inside it (a race helmet and suit fits nicely!) and stops it knocking around in the back! I machined up some bolt extensions to the stock fixing so you could screw it down secure still (or find the right size long coach bolt will do).

Hi Nad,

Tried to send you an email but pistonheads won't allow me

I need to get my 3 spoke wheels refurbished.

If your wheels are new and in perfect condition I could be interested, depending on price.

Could you e-mail me re what you want for them?

Thanks

Zubair, I also have an original spare if you want its free, you need to collect or pay me for the shipping £12.00 its unused.

[zubair]

hi paul.thanks for the offer yes please i will have that if you are in around london ican pick it up.if not i can send you a cheque for dalivery.thank you

[Viper]

i tried running the spare wheel face up like the little 1:18 models with the wheel in the boot, but in practice its doesnt work you get all sorts of reflections bouncing around the interior off the rear glass and the wheel face can scratched more easily, so its face down with the black cover over the top, which is also a great place to get your valuables out of sight if you dont have a complete rear MDF shelf



i have one of Nad's machined bolt extensions (pic above) it works a treat, along with a snake oyl tyre valve extension, so i check/inflate the spare without having the hassle of having to take the wheel out of the boot
