malbasys Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm looking for a 5J x 13 rim for a Manta A Rallye. These have 15 holes and 4 clips to locate the centre cone. Tyre not needed. I'll add a picture if I can work out how. Location Caterham. Prepared to collect or courier for a rim in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony g Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Do you have a pic of the ones you need? I cant picture 15 holes.. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I'm guessing it's the early style of wheel that was used before the Rostyle, like the ones on this american car. Edited July 21, 2014 by 1900SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony g Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 ive never seen that type before, im sure plenty on here will have though. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It's a rare wheel I think as they changed to the Rostyles fairly early on, I've only seen one car with them on in the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malbasys Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thanks for the quick response, guys, and for the picture, Senator. This is exactly what I'm after. Just to complicate matters, according to the parts fiche, these came in 5J and 5.5J x 13. It's the 5J I'm after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 These look very good and I admit that I have never seen this type of wheel myself either. Will look great if you can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the chrome pieces for sale a lot. Most people probobly just don't want to deal with the hasle of mailing a wheel.You can make the same money mailing just the caps & rings without worrying how to pack a big heavy rim & then have to pay for the postage. So, I think they're out there. You'll just need to be prepaid to pay a good amount of money to ship an oversized heavy box, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think they may have been the standard wheels in the USA (and S.A.?) throughout all production years, but in the UK (and Europe?) they were only fitted for the first year or so hence being rare over here.

They_Call_Me_Jopel Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Oh, That makes sence. Well, I have a set including the rings & center caps. Couldn't even imagine what it must cost to ship just one rim, let alone four rims. I would expext it to be cost prohibitive to ship something like wheels from the U.S. to your location. GL...

malbasys Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks Joe. I think you are correct about the shipping costs but I'll bear this offer in mind. I think I've located one in the Netherlands but am still awaiting a reply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doveyte2800 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi there, Yes you are correct, we have an early Rally sitting in the lock up , NEEDS WORK!!!, and it does have these wheels on it. Sorry but not for sale, dont know why as its been sitting there for about 7yrs untouched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta again Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have a set and newish center hubs, only thing is the car is up in suffolk at present, which is a pain as I'm only 20 mins from you in Horsham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malbasys Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hello Richard, Might I assume you are keeping these wheels with the car? I've just had a look at your car, via your profile, and it looks like you've got a cracker coming together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
