Old Steel Wheel with Tyre – Croydon area

[4-Door Pete]

Hi, I'm after a favour of loan or gift of an old steel wheel with tyre that I can use to move my mk1 cortina around.

I don't want to put the Lotus steels on yet and I only have 3 wheels (it's a long story). I just need to push the car so the wheel and tyre don't need to be in great condition. I'm near croydon and any help would be much appreciated.

It's not particularly interesting… but when I bought the car it came with Lotus Steels. I have since had them refurbished and they don't as yet have tyres and I don't want them on the car incase they get damaged - they are very pretty wheels.

The spare is just the standard cortina steel and I had a couple of the old wheels from my Mk1 Capri knocking about. The front of the car was on castors so I didn't worry about only having 3 wheels. Now I have front suspension back on and need another wheel so I can move the car.

 

I don't know what happened to the other 2 capri wheels.

I have a set of 5 steel wheels in my shed (one has a half exploded tyre still attached so is no use) from a mk4 cortina 

 

i'm near Lewisham so not too far, happy to lend one (or more) but want to keep them for the future so can't give to you
