Are these special rims???

[filicapri]

They were under the capper when i bought him.

They have a Ford stamp and are 3 piece rims.(13x8)

Have never seen another set like these

[Copey]

no idea what they are, but they are cool!!

[filicapri]

Have a bit of the RS style ,think the rims are magnesium(lightweight)

[gpcmatric]

Very nice indeed

[sambo]

Lovely mate! What size are they?

 

Let me know if they are in your way and if i can buy them from you!......

[4parajon]

Might be worth asking on the works escort site if no answers are forthcoming from on here, some knowledgeble fellas' on there.

 

Dont think Ive ever seen them before.

[V8ian]

GT70 rims?????

[Retromotorsport]

seen the Gt70 using minilites and normal rs4's ...

 

I was thinking about Formula Ford rears ... 8" wide.. could be too wide for FF

[Beakster]

Could be an older style of these:

 

[bortaf]

wouldn't have ford cast into em if they were aftermarket ?

no idea what they are but they look VERY interesting

[caprinerd]

what size are they?

think they could be something to do with the works race department i have seen them before but cant think where, it was only a pic but sure is in one of my books

[filicapri]

@ Sambo,think i gonna keep them

@ Caprinerd,13x8 mate and 3 piece

 

Some pics fitted under the capper

 

 

The bodykit self was done by 'ford motorsport',have the original papers here.

I have never seen this roofspoiler on a capper also.

[JP.]

Get that roof spoiler on Philip, in black

Walked though your project topic once more an now I am shure get it on mate.

 

Ooh and get rid of that facelift mk1 GXL/RS headlight surrounds an find yourself some decent mk1 RS ones

[filicapri]

Good idea mate

[you'll get 10s on that]

Very interesting....The cast counterbore holes are oval so would indicate that they were designed to have options on pcd. Not sure that they o/e Ford as they are more likely to have had the oval and then casting details for tracability. Early Image RS4 were not like this ....they were sandwich mount whereas these have that interesting mountingbolt detail which indicates that there were front mounted centres.

16 mounting bolts so the rims weren't sourced from either compomotive or revolution..... might be Mamba.....especially if the rims only matchup to the holes one way (YES Mamba managed to drill their 16 holes so that they only lined up one way......ah the olde days). Cool rims but worth having crack tested as unknown history/manufacture

 

Rims sections will be alloy not magnesium and either spun or pressed. They will be light as they would have started out as 3 or 4mm material and if spun could have been "thinned" down to as little as 1.5mm (!!!!!!)

 

Cool rims though
