Arent they rear '500 wheels?
Either Griff or Chim?

Dont do it, they're old hat.

Get some classic muscle 'star' wheels in brushed effect with polished lips... the 'S' will look superhuman!

They are indeed 16" Estorils, as found as standard on Griff and Chim 500s. They are sought after, especially if you split the set and sell in pairs. This is because as standard the 500s came with 16" rears but 15" fronts, which limits brake upgrade options. The later Griff LE's came with 16" all round.

If you had them refurbed to standard, I reckon you could sell each pair for around £300.

Oh yes!

They could actually be from Ford's RS catalogue... they produced a number of wheels VERY similar to Estoril's, abd they are in fact still available - they came in several finishes, including silver, anthracite and "bling" chrome.

They were made in Italy in 1993

Looking at the ebay link reminded me of the old RS wheels you could get for mkIII Escort RS turbos, etc. From memory, very similar.

I will have to do some research!

[antonyj]

But would the ford ones have been 16"???
And 7.5 " wide?
Look the real deal to me
