Ty 80

[jeffgsx1400]

Hi all I’m new to this forum and am in need of some help , I’m looking for a pair of wheel rims for a ty80 or even complete wheels , I’m am restoring a 1976 model , have been told I can possibly get alloy but that’s not the way I want to go with it as I want it original , any help would be appreciated as all avenues I seem to go down are a dead end 🤨

Hey Jeff! Welcome to the forum. I just did a simple search and found several TY80 original wheels on eBay. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you need though. Anyway, below are two links to a full rear wheel and a front.

Good luck finding what you need!

Appreciate that Ron , I’m looking for them in uk preferably , import taxes would make these expensive . I have seen these but will be a last resort

I had no idea what the wheel sizes are for a TY80, but based on the eBay links above they appear to be:

16 x 1.40

15 x 1.75

Have you tried searching "16 x 1.40 steel rim"?

There are results in the US.  Seems likely the Chinese even make them.

Edit: You would need the correct number of holes as well.

They are 16x1.40 and 14x1.40 , number of holes is important as are the angles of the holes , I have see the USA wheels on eBay but I will be taking a chance on how true they are if they are better than my wheelsI , think I’ll just be patient and hope some crops up on eBay , the rear 14” I am considering using but the front is in bad shape 🤨

Not sure if there is a misunderstanding here or not.  Just to be clear, I was suggesting that you search by rim size (with other parameters as appropriate), and not just limit your search to "TY80 rims".
