CCi RS 7x13 four spoke replicas out!

[Capripete]

CCi have listed 10 of their new replica four spoke alloys on the bay, £115 each with four nuts and a placcy centre cap.! They look good, but i'm thinking you could get a genuine second hand set for about that sort of money?

Here's the link, what do you lot reckon?

COOL!

But as you say originals are not much more expensive, at least you can get them though

Seems pricey for repro wheels, an original set of X pack 7.5 J's won't be a great deal more.

[spooner]

why get repro's

Bloody hell they ain't a bad price! Too much for me still

[antz]

both so nice! both so expensive

[CéDriC]

look like wide laser????

[OllieC]

they do seem a bit pricy, but they fit nicely on a standard capri

 

7.5j x pack wheels are a touch too wide for capris, they will fit but for me they look wrong, they stick out from the arch ever so slightly

 

the 7j ones (or these repros) fit just like a pepperpot or rs 7 spoke 13" wheel fit, spot on

 

if i hadnt bought a set of 15" wheels for mine with new tyres, id grab a set at that price... even if it is cci

The repo ones look good but like you say why bother when you can get a genuine set for the same money,mind you saying that,the only ones your going to get around the £400 mark are probably going to need a refurb so you got to take that into consideration

I watched these the other day and could'nt believe the only reached what they did,reserve was'nt met though

look good.......but if you looked hard enough you could get an original set for that if they were cheaper i would buy a set

its a repro laser wheel

[Guest MK1gaz]

Those 7x13 RS repro rims are great . Don't forget secondhand ones are usually bent and kerbed and need a £150+ refurb , cost £400 + to buy , £60+ for wheel nuts and £60+ for the centre caps unless your lucky and get nice ones with your 27 year old wheels . The 7.5 RS wheels are always cheaper secondhand than the 7's because they don't fit straight on much unless it's got wider arches

[OllieC]

i'm no CCI fan but how is that a laser wheel ?

a quote taken from the ad

 

"Faithful Reproduction of the original RS option offered on the Capri Range"

[fezza]

But didnt the 7's and 7.5's come on capri's anyway,the laser wheels wernt 7j

[escort greg]

[Guest MK1gaz]

Here's a restored 1980's 7x13 that i used to have . As you can see it's no different to the repro except polished and sprayed black

[OllieC]

he means there a copy of the RS 7" ronal alloys, i dont think they were an option on any english capri, maybe in germany

 

point is there a 7j rim, lasers are 6j

 

it has a greater dish to it, the two pictures supplied arent great but I think it would look a lot nicer than a laser wheel

[Guest MK1gaz]

[tim]

lazer wheels were 6s,they look like lazer wheels because of the thicker walls on the wheels,the 7 and 7.5s were part of the series x option range

just out of interest gaz are you hoping for traction when your new lumps done ? with small wheels Superlites....luv the look but i get no traction with 185 60 13 i really wanted a set of these wheels after seeing your motor with these wheels looks Sweet

[Capripete]

I don't want traction as i like sliding about with the rears on fire , mines a road car so i don't need traction anyway . You can do 2 second 60 foot times still with 175's at the pod just pulling away carefully instead of booting it and that's good enough to beat most cars on wide street rubber , so just go for it mate

[escort greg]

Cheers gaz i only use car when its dry most of the time so perhaps i should get a set of 7,s and slap some slicks on that will sort out the probs cheers
