Hi, im only new at this so you''ll have to bear with me. I''m not really sure if im doing it right. I have some wheels but i doubt if they''re what you''re looking for. I have 2 flat dish hotwires and 2 deep dish hotwires. I''m pretty sure they are only 6 inch ones though which might be what your after. They all have good rubber on them though.

Hello Shi02V and Ree,
Welcome both to the website, nice reply Ree.
I think that the 6 inch rim is a nice size for the cortina, without worrying about clearence and scrapin with heavier loads.
I still run an old school set of 13" X 6" rims on super low springs.
If you are lookin for a variety, try new Ford Mondeo, or Saab they have the same PCD 4 x 108.

Cheers.

Thanks for the welcome. I''m not really used to doing this stuff. I forgot to mention that i have skinnier tyres on the front and bigger on the back, not that that matters really. I have 205/60s on the back and I think they''re 195 or 185/70s on the front. They''re 13''s by the way. I replaced them with a set of 17''s on my Corty. Thanks, bye for now.

Try some saab rims, the ones I had were 6". Is that wide enough?

you might find that the dished hotwires are actually 8 inch rims. i didnt think they made a dished hotwire any narrower. if they are 8''s, they are rare as rocking horse shit.

Ok well I''m pretty sure they''re only 6''s but I could be wrong. I just know I used to put bigger tyres on the back to make them look bigger  : ) If anyone is interested I could go and find out. See ya

hi ree was wondering if ya could mesure those rims for me. I have 2 sets of 7 inch hotwires but if the dished ones are 8 they would look awesome on the back of my te also I''m looking for a set of bolt-ons if any one knows of any for sale.

Performance wheels still make them, and speedy still do an alloy
