Steelies in alloy
Posted: Tue Mar 30, 2021 8:45 am
I have the original 14in fuchs on my 69t which are running in 185/70/14 tires so a little undersized...but still perfectly usable.
Also a little extra width may add some weight to the steering which is very light indeed............maybe a touch too light.
I really like the look of steel wheels and have spotted a UK company that make them in alloy.
For me that's a win win....so before I buy new 14in tires I thought I'd investigate.
I could buy steel repros, probably 30% cheaper, or try and source an original set.....not sure of the cost though.
Does anyone run these, or have any experience with them ?

They do them in 5, 6 and 7in too.
Cheers.
