MK1_Warnzee Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 After a lot of aggro ive finally got my Compomotive Turbo split rims built up and on the car, just in time to go to wheels day They measure up as 7.5x13 on the fronts and 8x13s on the rear, with 175/50 tyres all round. A bit of blatant self indulgence posting a thread up about them i know, but just wondering what people on this site thought of them?
NeilT Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 spotted you motor a wheels m8 looks the nuts on those wheels something a a little different i like it
Trevmk3 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 looks nice mate its sort of a euro look with the stretched tyres and it looks good
lotusless Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 nice to see a different set of wheels on a scort
Anglia68 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 The wheels looked so good I even took a pic.
5hane Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 WANT, they look the tits mate if i had more money, i would ask you to sell them to me
Superblue76 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Hello Mate, It was me that was questioning you about them and your suspension drop as you pulled in, the wheels look very nice, very different
ratman Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Loving the compo's had them on my Hot rod in a 10x13
Retromotorsport Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 They measure up as 7.5x13 on the fronts and 8x13s on the rear, with 175/50 tyres all round. Love this post ... as for years i've been saying you can get 8" wheels on standard cars, and been mocked.. and always giggled to my self when people say " whats the standard offset of an Escort as i want to fit 7" rims " ... ie , the standard offset for a set of Non Standard wheels .. so well done to you for being different
Mad Mex Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 been after a set of these rims for ages, so rare and expensive .....uber cool

Lucky lucky bastard Bit of wheel trivia for you....who made em first, Ronal or compomotive
zetecmk2 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 must be doing something right, it's the only wheel i took a photo of!!
MK1_Warnzee Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks for all the positive comments guys Im not sure what was first - the compos or the Ronals, lots of different manufacturers have produced similar wheels to these. Compomotive sold the design to Schmidt who sell them as TH-Lines in a massive range of sizes and are very popular in the VW scene. They dont have the lettering though, so arent quite as cool Must've looked amazing in 10" on your rod dude! As for 8s on the back, they just fit, we've had to roll the arches and pull them ever so slightly. Its all about the right offset tbh. These have got a relatively high offset, not sure on the exact number, but i think its around 20-something. I could probably measure it if anyones interested?. Ive used 5" inner rims and 2.5" outers (the centre is half an inch wide).
jimmyjames Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 they set your mk1 off a treat, my favourite wheels they look sweet
