Image has all the specs and I'm pretty sure cast and billet option.

Thanks for that but I'm after one piece cast items (which I'm fairly sure Image don't do but I will check) similar to Dymag or Compomotive if you will, preferably lightweight and easy to clean.
Some people have done this before, Dymag would have been my default choice but alas no longer with us.
Something like on Javier's car (srreck) but with five stud fitment (his are centre-locks I think).

Anyone??

the people who own the rights to DYMAG will still make the hollow spoke magnesium wheels, I know because I spoke to them about making me a set a while ago.
Unfortunately they changed the price of them by a rather large ammount from first talking to them and later getting a total price, which made them too expensive in comparison to others available.

Surprisingly economical, and strong - as we found out when one of our drivers drove into a wall at the 24hr at 100mph....nothing more than a scuff!

i might have a set of HRE forged split rims for sale in 10" front and 12" rear with ford 5 stud pattern centres if of interest to any ultima owners?. they are my spare set with michellin road tyres (245-40-18 f and 335-35-18 r) which i bought for wet sprints and havent really used.
trying to remember the offset on them but they are the business, very lightweight and strong.

Yes, Spanish.
These were on my Radar a while back but I didn't have any idea how good/bad they were.
Thanks for your mail Jonny, I will do the man maths and see if its a goer!
