have you got a 12 incher
Discussion
Once you go above 10" things start to get more difficult.
Compermotive only ever had the tooling to go up to 10".
On this basis a few years back I talked to all kinds of wheel companies. Most won't go above 10". Some did though like image wheels, however the weight of these were horrendous!! About 14kg a wheel if I remember corectly.
I found OZ in Italy very helpful and they were prepared to make a batch of 20 wheels in 12" in mag. The cost for 20 was prohibitive. This is how I ended up with the Carbon Fibre dymags. They were happy to go with just 4 and do them at cost if we ran decals etc. At 6.2kg per wheel there amazing.......
Now they obviously went bust! So two years ago I did this whole wheel searching thing again.
All good wheel companies seem to need at least 20 orders to make a 12" race wheel. What I did find was a few jap companies who do 11" wheels. I ended up going with some Rays Volk racing wheels. However the cerb figment is slightly different to the Tuscan.
I guess some fast ford people may be able to help? Iirc they are a ford fitment?
Cheers

Good morning Neil,
Long time no race against, last time was two years ago at least poss Rock/ donny ? Are you thinking about bringing the beast back out next season, it would be great to see the old school iron again. I gave up on the Iron and went LS instead not looked back. thanks for pcd info, I kind of thought that but wasn't sure.
