Just brought a Wheel from Ebay.
Thing is its arrived with tappered seats where the nuts sit, and not the flat ones on my Escort Wheels.
Im prepared to use as a spare so should i get three nuts to fit this wheel incase i need it in an emergency or get rid and look for the right one?
Also anyone want to swap?
Looks like it was probably a Capri Laser wheel. Those are the wheels I have. Should be ok if you use the correct nuts for the wheel (Tapered ). Why three nuts and not the usual four?
What size?
I've got a spare one in my garage with flat seats?
Pat...
13" RS2000 4 Spoke
How much did you pay with postage?
Pat...
£32 including postage.
Is your spare fully painted or still as it would have been from new?

Hi,
If the wheel has taper seats - it's a Capri Laser wheel, if flat seats then its RS2000.
Just to be pedantic!! 
£32 for a wheel!
I know there's always some clever dick that's done it cheaper etc but i paid £25 for FIVE of those 2 years ago, is that what we call
inflation????? 

Hi " inflation "
. Not unless it's got a tyre on it.
Its just a case of people realising how cheap they can get a light weight wheel for. Allmost std fitment on the locost racers these days.
Also dont forget there is the fiesta version with FWD offset but i cant remmember what the nut/bolt seat was.
Cheers Matt
capri laser wheels are 10 a penny and i wouldnt pay more then the scrap value for them 7 a wheel ish atm
rs alloys have a thinner lip around the spokes and take the flat washers and are quite rare a good set of 6" ones will go for around 150 or more
and a good set of sevens for atleast 250 i have seen them go uip to 400 !
ive weighed in 8 capri laser wheels in the last few months and 12 capri pepper pots because you cant give them away in ford circles lol
Is there much weight difference between the Laser wheels and the RS ones?
