I am after a set of super light weight wheels for my car if I can find some at the right price. Its going to have to be second hand basically.
Need to fulfil the following:
13" rims
Ford PCD (108mm)
ET30 - 35 offset
6J rims to suit 185 front and 205 rear tyres
NOT minilite style
Would be nice if they came with some sticky rubber, but no biggie if not.
A set of Compomotive CXR's would be nice but thats really getting my hopes up!

I know where there’s a set of these super light weight wheels not being used…
Picking them up might be a bit of a challenge though

I think you might have problems here. Assuming CXRs are available in a 'fwd' offset, I can only think of two wheels available. The others are Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s. All of the other wheels will be Escort/Capri ET.
CXR's are available in any offset you like if you order them new, but I can't afford that option sadly.
I am struggling to find any second hand wheels which are suitable, but not giving up the hunt yet.
I have had capri (ET19) wheels before but they stick out far too much due to the offset. I currently have ET35 wheels with 6mm spacers (so equivalent
to ET29)
Cheers,
David
I was considering these as advertised on PH. Not sure of the offset though?
£250 + tyres he is also considering part ex for a larger size.

If you want to save weight, could you not fill the tyres with something other than air?
I know nitrogen is used in the new skyline as air is apparently too unstable not sure is it is lighter than air though.
Can Helium be used or is that too dangerous?

Hi
Are the Ford RS 4 spoke Escort / Capri style but in the FWD offset ( Fiesta ) suitable For the application.

Recently sold a set of Mk1 fiesta supersport rs alloys and they were 6j and et 32 so a similar set should fit the bill.

David - something to watch out for and maybe do a quick test with some steelys to see what you think before laying out dosh..

Thanks Rob,
ET 32 are 3mm different to what I am on at the moment (ET29 effectively) so shouldnt be much difference.
All I need to do is find a set of those wheels now. The ones on ebay go for silly money Shame I missed those ones
David
Look on ebay under Compomotive as a search. there's a set of 4 red powder coated ones of a Fiesta currently at £60
Bump, still looking
