Only in 7 x 15, but in three offsets. The cover plate can be removed for that 70's look.

Reasonable price too

It looks like the new on is convex where as the originals were concave.

What was the fuss about...a pale impression of the original. I'm glad really, it leaves the classic wheel in a class of it's own.

ah, those were the days....

actually, those wheels best suited Rover V8 or Jag V12 ford pop(ular) "sit-up-and-beg" hot rods

what was not to like ? Barry Sheene, James Hunt, Pan's People, roller disco....

Ahh that would be "Period and in keeping ..." in my book

The Mk 11 Cortina was jacked up with side pipes and flames to be slightly more accurate .... oh and the big whippy CB radio aerial .... and the furry dice .. and ... it's been a long week ....

Need to be painted white (which is flaking off) and rusty to complete the look.

Presumably they anticipate the market to be for fitment to FWD cars and have designed the offset according?
