Jbw smoothie wheels

[Johnny Boy]

Just a quick question ......

Are the JBW smoothie wheels the same as the Retro ford lotus type wheels that they have sold in the past ?

Anyone know ?

Sorry not sure, but I also have contemplated those in the past.

Saw them on this car and it made me consider them.

They look quite wide, maybe  8' s

They must have a lot of offset, a bit too wide for my style.

Someone else must have had them in a 6" that can chip in

I think retro ford only do there own Lotus  recreation wheel now, ( A bit spendy ) not the other ones they used to sell.

Reason I asked , wanted to buy another set like the ones on my MK1 Cortina, for my MK2 Cortina, and I think they are old style retro ford ones, they may possibally have been reselling the JBW ones, but I don't know, hoping somone does 😁

I was about to say the same, especially when used with hubcaps it sort of makes it like the wheel has been mounted back the front. Slightly narrower would look great though.
