I can't wait to see these on your car Tom!

 

I think the price is very good. You'd pay the same or more for crappy one piece aftermarket alloys.

Very interested in this for a set of 1600 rims as ive got stacks of the things. Would love it if he could take them down to 13 but dont suppose the original design would suit this.

 

Give us a PM if hes interested in trying a set of 14" or trying to even make them 13".

They are do able in 14" however the stumbling block is tooling up for the rim spinnings; he has tooling for 10 12 13 & 15 inch rims now, so any of those sizes no problem, but no plans to make 14"- they are just not such a popular size.

However the 1600 rims machined to take a 13" inner and outer rim might be possible, i'll talk to carl about it.

Yes I think you are right, next time Andy is here with his Sorrento 1.9 I'll see if he wants to try 2 on to see what they look like!

 

I reckon they will look good on a bright colour like Laser or Miami as well.

I took them off the car about 2 months ago as soon as they started to salt the roads, as otherwise the salt will attack the nice polished rims and make them skanky.

 

Other than that they are A-OK, they also did a good few laps getting a good beating around Curborough with the PSOOC back in November (I think it was Nov?) and behaved no differently than a standard wheel (well apart from looking the dogs).

 

Your set can be converted by contacting www.force-racing.co.uk

Do look good!!

 

Whats the widest you can fit with standard arches front and rear?

Mine are from memory 6 1/4" wide with standard arches, but 309 running gear. That is about it though really with standard arches as due to how the conversion is done all the extra width is added to the front of the wheel.
