Inspiration needed

[jamie956]

I'm now starting a mk2 Cortina 2 door project and need inspiration with wheels was thinking about 18's to be a bit diffrent.

 

Any ideas or suggestions welcome as Im struggling

Keep it simple

Most that try to be too different end up failing, I've seen big wheels on a Cortina before and well lets just say it didn't work

13,s mate

[jamie956]

Seen this on 16s and like the look, i admit 18s are pushing it and a big comitment with the plasma cutter is needed.

Saved by the fact that they are a minilight rep of some sort.

Superlite's

Superlite's

 

They look ok tucked right up in the arches

[jamie956]

these are 17'' comp's i do like the minilite style but i just think 13's dont look right on a cortina.

 

[Fiesta Steve]

What about 15's as a bit of a comprimise. Not sure they sit quite right on anyhting bigger.

 

Its hard to see in the pic above as the car is sitting on blocks so its riasd up antway.

[Wessie]

do it mate ! its your car

[jamie956]

Looked at some 9x15''s on ebay but try get tyres for um.

[jamie956]

found this picture sits nice on the road.

13's FTW

 

 

althuough there was a purple tina in retro ford t'other month with 17" image splits on that looked

[Richierich]

deep dish 13's all the way!

[BaileyMex]

Your call at the end of the day

 

But I think 18" might be a tad to extreme,

 

For me it was 13's all the way end of, but recently got a set of 15's just for a change, and their growing on me

18's who are you puff daddy

[v8cortina]

I have 15s on the V8 and have pics of 15s on the deluxe too. I have a set of 18" Image 3 piece split rims which I can do a mock up if you want or you could Photoshop it.

[jamie956]

Mock up would be good if its not to much trouble

[killerkerry89]

18's would be a bit much i reckon, theres a reason you dont see em like this! i'd say 15's and a lot of slam! but its your car... good luck!

Thats because you drink that crap over priced 20p coffee in the tea room.

Keep it simple. 13's are best but need to be wide,15's meh... but about as big as you should go as they start looking odd.

any bigger and it'll look like a rollerskate.

also you'll loose steering lock and it'll look gay if you need to do 57 point turns to get anywhere

17's fit.........

 

 

13's looked too small........

 

 

 

May go back to 16's.........

 

 

18's will be a real struggle to get it on the deck with wheel arches and lock imho.
