Pepperpots on a Mk Indy?
fullpint - 14/10/11 at 07:29 PM

Has anyone ever used the old Capri 13" x 7" Pepperpot? Reason I ask it that I have a set fully refurbished.
Currently I'm on 15" but would like to go down 13" running a higher profile. Just not sure if these old pepperpots will suit hence the need to see if anyone is using them.
I have rested the wheel (with no tyre) up to the car and it looks ok (ish)..
I just don't like the current TSW multi-spokes..

No idea about the pepperpots, but I could be interested in the multispokes if the price was right

My old RH had them fitted they would looked OK but not brilliant, how about a colour change, gloss black maybe. Barry

Tempted with doing a free refurb, gloss black or may be white!!. Trouble is its all those spokes. Give me a 3,4 or 5 spoke wheels any day.. Simple lines and easy to clean..

I have a set of black pepper pots on my plastic car and to be honest, they look like I've just stuck on the cheapest, easy to get hold of, set of 7x13 wheels I could find. I also have some RS seven spokes which look so much better.

that is exactley the way i have gone, but in silver, my car was originly on pepper pots, and now on 7 spoke 2.8 capri
although over the winter i plan on changing to minilights/superlights

The 7 spoke/pepperpots with a tyre on, weigh just under 3 stone each !!

Like it. Ok pepperpots wont look the part.. 7 spoke RS tho dont look tooooo bad.
I think a call to my mates at Atom could be on the cards to see if they have a set of 5 spoke cast magnesium Dymag wheels..

IMHO, the seven spoke RS wheels would look good gloss black with polished rims. I'm too lazy to polish stuff which is why I got all my wheels powder coated black......
