You are a champion!
The two Kadetts need to go to Dubshed. When’s the springs going in?Thanks to Alan Crockett for letting me run round his shed like it was supermarket sweep lifting wheels of different widths and offsets to try and find a good fitment for the Kadett with decent meaty tyres. Alan and his father race Kadetts & Chevettes so had plenty to choose from. Even lent me a set of progressive front springs to check ride height. Will fire up a few photos once I’ve the Audi hoovered and have the Kadett pushed over to try some of these options. Still undecided about wheel design. Love old bbs mesh, comp turbos and the likes but will figure out offset first.

Maybe an evening this coming week!Friday?
I hadn’t considered them until this evening as they’re on every mk2 escort in the country. Clearly for good reason though they do look so period correct don’t they!Looks so good on the minilites
Aye Davids Car looks really well. Looking 15x9 on the rear if possible. I think from behind the 8inch just dont look wide enough maybe Im just looking at it too often. lolYou can get 15x8 minilites new from JBW, there's nothing wrong with them and i quite like them but they are everywhere.
Similar style of wheel on David Maxwell's Firenza really suits the GM stuff in my opinion

I get what you're saying, but they're a lovely wheel at the same time.Ive been on and off the Image wheels website for months and had been looking at 250s or their Compomotive turbo style but i feel like at a distance they look like steelies.
You need the image minilite style splits thenYou could also try Force Racing, some of their split rims are class!

I had one of the first sets of 10x7 image split rims on my mini at the time and they were class. I keep looking at putting split rims on to my mini now but it looks so good on the minilites lol

That set Imler do are outstanding looking.
Re. JBW, again like the rotas in my opinion it would be a shame to have the rest of the car as well done as it is and then a set of the most bland, meh (albeit functional) wheels on it! Actual old school minilites and Watanabes are different when actually looking at them in the flesh
Work Equip 40s would work well too I think, love putting Japanese wheels on non-Japanese cars personally.

If you can find me a 2.5inch 90degree stainless in work then we’re laughing. Burn the ankles clean off ye getting out though! LolSome days craic with a wee adventure in the middle of it. Ps she needs a side exit.
It’ll look the part with some of the period rally decals on it hopefully!Much better! The more I see that colour scheme the more I love it
