175/80/15

I'm looking for Super 90 (5,5J) wheels for the back and I will then buy some 185/70/15 for them in the same style as the front tyres (more classic look).

Cool - they looked larger than 165s
Wish they had an affordable 185/70 in the states, our best option here is a 185/65/15s
Looks good man!

DWS does not only supply a super duper clean polish job he also provides top advice!  Grin

My God... I haven't seen those in years. VERY cool find. I'd run those on my car in a second. Is that the correct center cap background color, though? Black? What's the width on those? Are you going to buy them?

I have two of those JA Pearce, in Porsche pattern. But mine are the older(?) type without the middle "spoke" in the spoke Roll Eyes Mine says 1967.
Here they are on the back of my "fieldcar"

English. The centre cap shown looks like a badge from the hubcap of a 356B or C. The regular JAP Magnum centre cap was a simple universal chromed steel thing.

Wow those look quite cool! I´ve never seen those before and would have never guessed that the rear wheels on JHU´s "Looker" Grin are the same.

How about these wheels for your late looker? An early version of german Ronal rims in an quite unusual size: 14x5.5"
