RS wheels info

Hi guys, short of hijacking the thread itself, Ive got a few questions bout the wheels jason delaney is selling in this thread...

http://classic-ford.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20661


Are they simply called 'RS Wheels?' if so, does that refer to the Mk2 RS2000, or another RS release?

Additionally, I guess these puppies are of the 13inch variety. Do they come in other sizes (14, 15inch) and offsets from aftermarket producers (even if they are non-original lookalikes)? If so, where can you get them from and do they go under the same name?

Many thanks in advance!!

Cheers

    Yep, as marty said, RS 4spokes. Comesin many different sizes and offsets, even FWD... Quite cheap on uk ebay, but as usual, postage will be the killer.

    Here is a helpful guide...

    You can buy them new afermarket, up to 16x9? I believe, I have the images somewhere. Imagewheels uk list them up to 15" but I'm sure they do larger..

    took me awhile to get back to this one...

    thanks for all the replies guys. the RS 4 spokes are wicked, but the "rebel" wheels by those guys in Sydney were the ones I was looking for. I kept doing google searches for rebel wheels but could only come up with the american wheels that go under the same name.

    In my opinion, the rebel wheels that have the sunken centre, with the spokes that come outwards to meet the very outer face of the rim look the absolute horn on mk2's. with flared arches of course

    cheers

    13x7 Superlites fit under normal arches....what you need is 13x8 front & 13x9 rear to fill them real good, just dont go mental on tyre size
