BuGsBuNnY Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I have looked far and wide but my westfield inexperience and lack of solid contacts for the particular car really shows. I am after a set of 7" wide 13" diameter rims that will clear Westfield's own 4-pots. The ones currently on the car are branded minispeed and are ET13. Pic follows: Any ideas? Obviously, the cheaper the better and I am a great fan of Weller steelies Quote
Blatman Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Westfields own 4 pots with the Westfield logo on them, or Westfield supplied AP 4 pots? I suspect the Westfield branded 4 pots are identical to the current Outlaw/CAT/Raceleda 4 pots, and to the best of my knowledge they will fit under a set of 13's. A piccy of the caliper would help...

JeffC Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Ive had 3 different sets of 7X 13" and all have fitted over my westy 4 pots no probs as long as you dont get the balancing weights put inside the rim , "bin there dun that" Quote
BuGsBuNnY Posted April 11, 2006 Author Posted April 11, 2006 Blatman: Westfield branded 4-pots. I know they fit under 13s, the car has them on as per pic on the first post. Jeff:Been there done that myself on my old rallycar. If memory serves me right the minispeed wheels I have on the westie now have quite a bit of space(relatively) between caliper and rim. Anyone know where I can buy a set of wheels then? Quote
adhawkins Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 You can get minilite copies from George Polley. I think 13 x 7s will be around the 80 or 90 quid (each) mark. Andy Quote
JeffC Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I struggled on 2nd hand 7" 13"s quite hard to get hold of in the offset i wanted 2nd hand , I ended up with a set of new k&n minators , 7x13 et24 I paid extra for gloss black and polished rim , from memory £340 ish ?? Quote

Darren B Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I bought CXRs in 13x7 that fit over my 4 pots for £100 a corner straight from Compomotive.... ...but I guess that doesn't exactly fit the cheap category Quote

I recently brought a set of 6x13" minators from here: www.tyresave.co.uk http://www.tyresave.co.uk/alloyskn.html The guys there were helpful and the wheels were delivered quickly. Kirk Quote
