Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Thanks to Ray Donner (Andy Pipes painter) this week for painting up my speedline wheels. They are 16" gpA wheels, these ones have inters on but I have a set of 4 225-45-16's going on the other 4 wheels tomorrow to use as wets.



These are budget friendly and have a suprisingly good offset for the escort so that the arches don't look too empty, they also clear the brakes, which is nice

pre refurbing to check brake clearance;


If I get another set of image wheels with wets as big as my slicks I'm looking well over £2k so for now these will do great and the car also fits straight on the trailer which it wont with the orange wheels.
All I need now is to get the gpA wheel nuts, not sure if they are the same as the gp4 conversion ones

Quick test of a rear fitted with a 225 dunlop wet tyre

Black wheels are

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

I think they would have looked better in white dave!, but I'm sure you have good reasons for the black!!!

are they much heavier than the split rims?

They looked like they'd been nicked off a rally car in white and look much better in black. Nothing else on the car is white (except the name on the window) so they would have looked odd IMO

They are heavier than the 13" wide splits btw

Another good thing is that the tyres are the same diameter as the slicks so won't require a different ride height setting

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Due to insurance complications I don't do test days... Well not from trackside anyway. And my day rate is hideous

As soon as its on track it will have some of your logos on it
If you get sticky Matt to do them he can drop them off for us as they are for both cars and the van
