Look like rs rims to me

[geoffersmasher]

worth getting?

[fezza]

If your after some mate,seem cheap and im positive they are RS rims

[geoffersmasher]

not after some but may make a profit

[fezza]

more than likely

[geoffersmasher]

may try my luck

[fezza]

Just finished on £25 with no bids,email him and make him an offer as they didnt sell

 

Might get them even cheaper

[geoffersmasher]

yeah i was thinking 20

[fezza]

Worth a go

he says in the ad they have a tapered wheel nut seat, that makes them laser wheels.

I couldnt remember if the RS wheels had flat or tapered seat,but the ones in his picture look like RS rims ie the thin metal round the wheel nut hole,i have some laser wheels here and they deffo have a thicker rim around the wheel nut hole than the ones in his pic

thats what i thought fezza

 

ahh well ill retract my offer

[mk1mexico]

They are deffo not laser wheels.

[geoffersmasher]

aarrggh who to believe , why not mk1 mexico

 

 

the thing i always thought to look for was thinner bits round bolts and slightly thinner bits that point out in the alloy

[hellblue]

They aint laser, but a bit odd with the taper seat ?? You will have to ask him for any numbers ect on them

[X FLOW EDDY]

They look a lot like mk1 rs rims to me, if some dilly tit has put taperd nuts into flat washer style rims them they are as good as scrap, i have 2 6x13 mk2 rs rims that are fooked cus someone has done that to them

[capriaddict]

ask them for the part number thats stamped on them

vista's right i used to have a set of 6jx13 rs wheels and the nuts had flat washers on them, laser wheels have the tapered nuts

[escortmad79]

Spokes look tapered, not Gp1s are they?

 

Either that or has someone machined down the spokes & webs to make them look like genuine RS alloys?

[geoffersmasher]

ill get numbers

[bortaf]

strange

hopefully it aint RS wheels somone has fitted steel wheelnuts too and cut the taper by doing that

Mk1 wheels would be 5 1/2 not 6 wouldn't they ?

[MK2Ed]

ill get numbers

 

They should also have a date stamp if RS (i believe) e.g. 1978, etc...

[wild pete]

i think mk1,s had flat seats mk2,s where 6" duno bout

[escortmad79]

Mk1s were 5.5Js

[mk1mexico]

Yeah get some numbers mate.

 

They are not laser because of the design around the holes

Not mk2 RS because of the tapered seat

Not mk1 RS because they were 5.5J

Not JPS because they too were 5.5J

Not GP1 wheels of any kind mk1 or mk2. GP1 mk1 wheels dish inwards(hellblue has them on his mk2 cortina), Gp1 mk2 wheels are a totally different shape (keeh has them on his mk1 fiesta)

Obviously not 7 or 7.5J wheels either

Not fiesta supersport because of the dish

 

So im stumped. The flat face of the centre cap seating looks different slightly too.

 

Good luck in getting a bargain anyhow
