Do they have a Ford stamp as well matty? Or could they be off something else with the same PCD?

They are not mexico steels. Mexico steels were the same design as the 'sport' wheel on the mk2. They have no lugs for hubcabs.

When you say they are not welded, i presume you mean 'banded'.
Chances are the centres where welded onto 7" outers. This was a very common mod in the 70s and 80s.

I have a couple of odd pairs of the same wheels, all done in 7inch as this was the standard 'wide' wheel at the time to fit to the old Holdens.

yep they do have a ford stamp on them dude I'll try get some better shots o the rims tomorrow :)

Thanks Shaun they very well could be welded centres I'll have to look closer they are an interesting rim can't wait to get some chrome centres on them they will look tough :)

They look like XM falcon rims mate, my old XM was standard when i got it and had those rims on it with chrome hub caps in the centre that only cover around the part that's dimpled

If they fit escort pcd than they aren't xm falcon as they are a different PCD (114.3? from memory), same as nissan etc.

Yes Escort 108PCD
XM = Datsun PCD 114.3

they look Hillman ish

Took a few more shots

100% escort/cortina/anglia stud pattern (shot with an escort hub on)

Matt get some pics of inner side of rim. I had a pair of these which were exact same inner (Ford rim) with an ROH 6 or 7" band welded to them.

So a pic of the inside of rim which shows the welding should probably give it away.
