antz Posted January 8, 2014 Report Posted January 8, 2014 Selling due to getting a new set of wheels. Set of mk2 Escort Ghia 13" banded steel wheels (originally 5 inch wide) banded out to 6.25 inch wide. Came off my Escort mk2 Ghia. Cars lowered 2 inches and they fitted all round on 185/60 tyres without any arch rub on standard arches. I lightly rolled the front arches just to be safe. Im running a panhard rod on the rear but without one you may have clearance issues as the axle moves about unless you roll the rear arches (mine aren't rolled). These are the original wheels my Escort came from the factory on. They were banded through James P on Retrorides about 6 years ago. They were blasted at that same time and are currently rattle canned in Ford Strato silver but its looking a bit tired now after 6 years. There is evidence of pitting from rust before they were blasted but they are 30 years old and aren't going to be mint. They could do with spraying again but they still look presentable. One has a slight leak by the join weld that needs dabbing in. I just ran a tube in that tyre and it hasn't ever effected it. Still currently have my tyres on but Ill be getting the removed at the weekend and they will be available next week. NO TYRES, CENTRE CAPS OR NUT COVERS INCLUDED! Bare rims only. £150 for the set? Will need collecting from Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Sorry no postage. I'd really rather not send bare rims as they can break free from the packing and are more susceptible to damage than wheels with tyres on (when I had these couriered to me from James, one did break free from the packing and turned up 4 days later in Leeds so I know from experience)
antz Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Posted January 8, 2014 The Calypso is a mate of mines. It's so clean. I love it.
irishtorag Posted January 9, 2014 Report Posted January 9, 2014 calypso is such a rare machine prefer the graphite grey over stratos silver to the cardinal red over stratos silver think it looks much better 1
