As in title, looking for a set of the deeper dish wheels as fitted to most gl models of Capri.

Thanks, Shane

I think you're right, in that case I'll look for 5j ones too!

I believe that 5.5 inch wheels were fitted to the GL model from late 1980, probably when the long centre console & opening rear windows became standard fittings. The 5.5 inch wheels were also fitted to the 1.6S, Cabaret and ( I think the Calypso).

I think that the 5.5in version of these wheels may be difficult to find now in good condition, especially as they were also fitted to some of the sportier MK2 Escorts.

Good luck with your search.
