Post by blurb55 »

have been offered a set of alloys which are v nice. However, the nice old lady who is selling them has no idea what pcd or offset they are. They are off a Ford Grandad and have the following marks on the alloys:

6J x 15 x 18
92GBVB

Does anyone know where I can check this out - tried to look on the wiki and on the wheel section of BY but it seems to be a bit dead at the mo.

Any help appreacited.

What do they look like? are they similar to Merc five spokes? if they're off a Grannie the PCD should be correct.

Hi Shepster - cheers for the reply.
They are six spoke, five stud.
have no pics and am driving 180 miles for them if they will fit as they are almost new so I want to be sure.
They dont look like Kevs, or they would if his were 6 spoke.
Trying to find what the ref number mean at the moment.

Well guys, I am heading off in just over an hour, the little old lady tells me they are grandad wheels and she has measured the PCD with a rule!!! :shock: and it is 112.

So wish me luck.

(if they do not fit I may well return to visit her and put a bat up her nightdress!!!)

Well, here I sit in my WiFi enabled, veggie B&B 180 miles from home. The Duncan Fearnley bat is linseeded and ready for tomorrow.

I will post a pic here of either me smiling holding a wheel, or a ver startled old lady, who may also be smiling.

On a serious note - what rubberwear should I get to keep the speedo as accurate as a vw speedo cab be, when running the 15" wheels?

Cheers, Paul.

Youre such a "bar-steward" having a little old lady measuring wheels for you! :lol: Make sure she balances them and fits them for you when you get there, and torques the nuts correctly! :lol: :lol:

:rofl

Went in the Pug so only managed to get it washed and valetted :D

We are currently tripping over a set of five refurbed alloys in the kitchen. They are mint and cost the grand sum of £100 cash - tried to ignore the Granada on bricks just down the road!!!!! - just kidding :lol:

If it stops peeing down with rain I am going to see if they fit later this afternoon - WATCH THIS SPACE..

Cheers all for the help
