hi i recently purchase a tc ford cortina ... im trying to look for some wheels to go on im look ing for some wider ones at the rear. the cortina has got the original 4 studd pattern and im finding hard to find some nice wheels for it.. can anyone help would be very much apriciated.

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.

Welcome

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.

[Ree]

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.

[Ree]

Hi sorry I haven''t answered til now. Yeah I''ll check them out on the weekend for you and get back to you asap.

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