tay14 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I was looking at these for my mk2 cortina. Have you got a link to the hub caps on eBay? What size tyre would be best to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandq Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I put the same post up about 2 months or so back, they were only offering the 5.5 j's then. I am thinking of going for a set of 6's for my Anglia, I have loked at so many sets of 'genuine' lotus steels now and have come to the conclusion that most people are being duped into paying lotus money for well, frankly a pile of rusty rubbish. in my opinion, these wheels look the same, come painted, are new rims so will run true, and for less than you would pay for a rusty 40 year old ford wheel that needs to be blasted and refinished but may also be fatigued or bent or both. I am still waiting to see a set on a car, but the more I think about it I am probably going to bite the bullet and get some. the only drawback I can see is that you have to run them with hubcaps as the centres are just plain discs, whereas the old ford steels look just as good with the hubcaps off and the nuts exposed. go get some I say!

lurch914 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Here's the eBay link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111153918909?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D111153918909%26_rdc%3D1 Item number is 111153918909 I was think inking the same why buy old ones that might not be straight or might be pitted for the same sort of money plus if you wanted 7js you'd have to get them banded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they should fit fine as for tyres I'd say something like 185/60 I think 175/50 would be to small on a cortina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrade Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 This topic had come up on 105Speed about a year ago. Theres more photos of how it looked back then. No idea if it has been improved or not since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandq Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 hi, that's what I meant about the centres, fine with caps, not so good without, but the originals look good both ways. cheers, ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
