Would any of you good people have a pair of the smooth centre Transit rims kicking around the place? same as fitted to the front of the van in the ad. above. Would buy complete front hub/spindle if you had it.

Kind regards .Iver.

wish I could help as I do have them on one of my future resto's but if I sold them then I wouldn't be able to move the van.
I can try and text a couple of people and see if they have any knocking about.would you be willing to have some sent from the uk?

Don't call them that, you will drive up the price!

thanks bugsntinas, (great user name!) Would rather try and get them more locally than the UK, but needs must!
I live near the border anyway, so can get them sent to a mate there, and stop the courier having to go "international":rolleyes:

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies and offers of help. thanks bugsantinas, for the link. The good news is that I have came across 2 of the rims, and that will keep me going.
