13' wheels, very specific request...sorry

[markcoopers]

Looking for 4x 13'x7' ford 4 stud pcd of 108 alloys, with an off set of +19-21.

Ideally looking for Revolution 4 spokes, but in any case must be a black wheel with a polished rim, in exactly this spec.

Thanks in advance.

There was a set of rs rims (capri) on ebay yesterday that could be a bargain...you could then get 'em coated/polished up to your liking

I've got a set of RS alloys going cheap

Seen lots of 2nd hand Compmotive RS and revolution wheels on ebay, but all need referbising @ £50 a wheel, and pretty much are all 6x13. + have you seen 20year old alloys after a few rallys??? , Full of cracks that eyes can not see, but trust me on this, they a'nt strong.

New, KN minators are £77 ish each, so £50 referb + wheel realy isn't worth it in my book.  If anyone knows where to get this new price down a bit it would also help? I've already phoned the useual suspects.

There always used to be a place in the Midlands that did seconds - 4 for £150, Minilite replicas.  They advertise in the kit car mags.

Try Pristine Wheels of Woburn Sands, the guy has (or used to) loads of RS style alloys. He has athing about em! The refurbs they do are excellent and they can come up with all sorts of finishes.He sometimes has a stockpile of wheels allready refurbished and ready to go.Not been in contact for a few years now though, but worth a phone call anyway.

As for the cracking worries, all his wheels are x-rayed before they do anything to them!!

dickie b is talking of midland alloys i think ,they do minilites and revlites.try performance alloys in leicester they were doing 4 6/13  with 185 /60 tyres for under 400,ive got crxs which are light and cheap for what they are:0

[markcoopers]

Thanks Gav and Higgsti,

Did consider crx's, Chaz has been selling them to me like they were going out of fasion, but in reallity I'll take a bit more weight as all 13' will be lighter than the 15' i had, and I really want the black/polished 4 spoke look.

[DickieB]

Point of order.  15 foot wheels would double the length of your car.  15 inch (or 15") would not.

Glad to hear the rebuild is going well Mark - if I lived closer I'd give you a hand.

Have a look at this site

They are in my village and not that far from you I believe. They are the company that goes to a lot of the shows with offers on wheels and tyres etc.

Mark wait till we go to the autosport show, there are always loads of deals to be had and I'm sure Midland Wheels will be there.  If you blag it (which I know you can   ) you will probably be able to get a trade price deal    Bring cash
