Fiesta Steve Posted January 14, 2007 Report Posted January 14, 2007 Does anyone know anything about the 14" 4 spokes made by Pirelli. They are 6" wide and are dished out slightly like the 7" RS alloy. Are they worth anything ?
Fiesta Steve Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Posted January 14, 2007 I haven't got any pics myself but have seen pics of them before and saw a set for real yesterday, maybe someone else has a pic

Fiesta Steve Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Posted January 14, 2007 Quiet possibly. I unearthed a set on a Porsch 911, asked the owner if he wanted rid and he said yes.

escortmad79 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Posted January 16, 2007 Never seen a set of those before, what did they come off originally?

As for the cost of them, work out the cost of having to buy one complete wheels versus an outer rim when you smash it into a curb.. then theres the weight, there aint none, splits are always lighter if they are competition breed
Fiesta Steve Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Posted January 16, 2007 Gary, can standard alloys be lightened safely Or is that a no no.

Awesome quality, and can make a set of wheels to your own spec's! Great for big dish! I was talking to him for ages on saturday about all his rims! I will defo be buying a couple of sets of wheels off of him. Set of the Escort, and a set for my AE86. Hes a real nice chap too, which always helps!

I probably won't use them m8, just a bit interested in them as they are different. And i'm sure mondeo calipers would fit under them.
