Early bay 15" steels

[Michael 1968 bay]

Hello For swop or sale are four early bay 15" steel wheels.
They are in good condition free from buckles ect.
They have been painted fairly well.
They are fitted with Firestone f-560 tyres 165 r15 / 145 r15.
I am hoping to swop or sell them for a set of early bay standard 14's
I'm based in Norfolk and traveling to Birmingham this weekend.
Thank you Michael.

Hi Michael, I have a set of 14" bay wheels you can have for £10 per wheel. I'm in Milton Keynes.

Oh.. so the early bay 15's aren't in fact bay at all.. they're bug wheels??

That's right 15" were split or beetle wheels.

May have mentioned split above.

Pre 64 was the changeover year not 62.

Good call.

A good thread here explaining 15s

This is a Beetle wheel. An easy way to tell the difference is the valve stem is centered between wheel nuts. On all buses, the valve stem is in direct alignment with a wheel nut.

More info on bus wheels of all years can be found here ...
