Does anyone know what make these steel wheels are? Ive seen some that were definitely 15" but unsure if they were are reasonable offset. Are they a Weller? Anyone got any?

Also can anyone recommend a brand/manufacturer for some quality wheel studs and alloy nuts? Are forged studs (much more expensive @ over £4 each) required or overkill in peoples opinions?

Was going down the rally design route with mine, works out fairly reasonably - about £25-30 to do the whole car, interested to what people think about the forged studs :)

They look like mattig ssf, not cheap! Weller do a similar rim.

Cool thanks all, Raj what happened to the wheels you had? Were they 15s and what offset did you get?

Anyone know much about forged studs?

Use ford studs & drill your hubs so you can press them in, Andy Cooke done it on the rainbow warrior. Theres some pics on here somewhere:)

Raj did you need spacers so the mattigs would clear the caliper? i knew somebody had fitted a set, nice looking steels.

There's a fella down the road from me that has 6 Weller wheels in 13x8 or 13x7, can't remember which size now, mental offset of -10. Wanted £350 for all 6 I think.

i sold them on, and my god did i make a profit on them:eek: sold to a vw fanatic.

as for the offset for the life of me i cant remember:scratch: but i will say they were an arse to fit. i had to use spacers to clear the calipers.

i can however tell you i had 13x7.5 on the front and 13x8 on the rear.
