Did Hotwires ever come in 13" and 5stud to suit Falcon PCD?

Does anyone know if Hotwires ever came in a 13x7" or 13x8" to suit Falcon 5stud or did they all start at 14" for 5stud?
 
Thanks,
Rhys

    14' is the smallest Hotwire you will find. 15' Snowflake wheels look like hotwires when you add some dish.

    What you think about, you bring about.

    15" lightweight Steelies from the US will probably be the go then.

    Hey Rhys, I saw an old post of yours (or at least I think it was yours) about a white Rally Pack with 6.5" wide Hotwires fitted.  Do you know what the offset was on those?

    G'Day Flighter,
    Yes that was mine. I no longer have those exact rims but have others I can look on if you like?

    There are not many options at all for 5 stud 13's. I went through this a few years ago when searching for rims for a Hilux rear. Still have a set of 13" zephyr steels however I could only get mags for ford in 14". There are 13's around in Holden pattern though.

I put a lj banjo diff into an escort years ago its only 1" wider than an escort diff just change the diff brackets and then i re-drilled the front escort disc's to torana and then fitted 14" wheels and had a stronger diff as well

    UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear. HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

    Thanks guys.
    At this stage I'm looking at some steelies out of US in 15"
    Otherwise if sticking to 13" I'll have to get Holden hotwires then run stud converters to Falcon on the rear.
     
    Hotwires seem to have gone up in price quite a bit.
     
    Thanks,
    Rhys

    XL XM XP utes all ran 5 stud 13" wheels, you are correct about the 4 stud in the sedans though.
