westfield wheels

[chaslet]

Hi Chaps, I'm building a westfield se on a tight budget. Are there any wheels I can get from a scrappie that will have the correct offset? (don't care about the diameter) Cheers.

Hi Pal,

I have a set of refurbed capri wheels with new tyres (think its uniroyal rainsports but can check if your interested)and a set with tarmac tyres and I would sell them.

I just bought my westfield aswell mate and have some spares, good stainless exhaust etc

You need to be a bit more specific. Is it a narrow body, live axle or independent wide. The offset does depend.

Hi spaximus, it's narrow with old English live. Thanks for your first message. Help!

Let me know if interested and I can get pics ect

You will find that the Capri or Escort will do the job in a 13" rim as the offset is okay for the narrow body. You might need a 5mm spacer at the rear to make it a bit more central.

My First Westfield used 14" alloys from a RS turbo but they needed a bigger spacer. It came with them so I kept them on there and they worked fine.

The narrow I think always looks good on the four spoke RS/ Capri rim as you can paint the spoke body colour

Spaximus, would I be correct in thinking you mean Mk2 Escort?

[spaximus]

yes mk2 would fit nicely
