@GrumpyGel you note the small hole between the wheel nuts? These ones do fit.
Here is my V6

It could have spacers behind the wheels. They only have to be 5mm thick iirc, for the earlier 15" rims to fit.
The spare is a Triple Sport, possibly a 17" looking at the tyre sidewall.
 
I bet there's no spacers behind them. Its a breakers yard selling it and I recon they've cobbled together something to sell!

If there's no spacers with the early wheels, the spokes hit the calipers, which prevents the front wheels from turning.

It's a 2000 year car so yes they would fit. Very early V6's had the earlier brakes.

What a hotch-potch!

So it'll have the same brakes at the wheels as an early K or L Series - but the servo is the later one - or at least the brake fluid reservoir is attached to the bulkhead like later ones as opposed to being attached to the servo as on the earlier ones.

I wouldn't like to have to buy parts for it!
 
Yeh - but they are the 6 spoke not 5.

...and have the small holes between the nuts as described on the 17's (or 16's) above.
 
When I got my '01 K Series car it had identical wheels as my '99 L Series. It was only after a previous thread about these 15' wheels that I went out and compared the 2 - and bugger me, the K had an extra spoke!

I do, but if you're after them it would make the parts car rather immobile. I suppose I could take bits off it and send the rest for scrap - which I'll have to do at some point - but I'll have to decide what I want to keep and where I'm going to put the bits!

At that many Kms, I can only imagine what the driver's seat looks like under the cover.

Probably no worse than mine - I did try to strip the part car's seat (to use the passenger seat squab) - which sounded easy in Rave - but practice was rather confusing! I'll have another go this weekend.

That's very kind of you Tony. Yeh, would be great :) I'll make sure we're stocked up on cakes and coffee again :) I'll also make sure, as much as possible, that my tools are in known places!!! I'll be around all day - when ever suits is great.
 
It's possible to swap the seat squabs L to R and R to L.
I'm planning to do this on my HSE seats to prolong the leather.
