wheels
repro ford rs 13 x 7.5 wheels 99 GBP each, 120 GBP landed at your door for the four wheels. They are John Brown rims and look trick. also has 7 x 13's. thats $806 AUD all up. New 7 x 13 rebels - $250 each plus GST and post. Only trick is to whether the 13 x 7.5's will fit under standard arches ..

i dont know how to copy the website address across - but i googled john brown wheels and came up with midland wheels site. Their shop and prices are there - i phoned them for the frieght cost (120 GBP). Yes ive seen the wheels on trademe but the 7x 13's dont appeal. I would rather the 7.5's or 7 x 13 rebels - just unsure as to whether the 7.5's will fit under standard mk 3 arches ....

i reckon the front ones will squeeze n - using the mk1 diff should solve the rears - they (apparently) have 43/4 inch offset - from bolt up face to outer lip apparently they do hit - slightly - not sure where have asked

as per - puzzlescort above - i brought these from Palmside (NZ) - they fitted these to a gxl i have. It had standard rims so thought i would dress it up a bit - cost $612 aud (included strip and fit - 13x7) (the car is on the way but it was in NZ at the time so the price was right). The aussie dollar does make it worthwhile .. With the 13 x 7's u could use the mk 3 diff i guess ..  i brought another one as it works out cheaper for 2 - use a 40 ft container ..  ironically they are only 3 builds apart same VIN but one ends in 3, the other 6.

Very nice pair Spud...........the only other car that comes to mind that's so "addictive" as our Mk1 Capris, is the Ford 1971 XY 351 GT & GS Fairmont. Not only have both cars become much sought after icons for their Racing History, but their great looks and basic simpleness and reliability and ease to repair, must be part of the formula that makes us fall in love with them. After sitting in a Ballarat Shed for 15 years, my intention was to buy my Wild Plum V6 GT and "flip it" for an easy 400% profit.  That little drive from Ballarat to Mt Eliza was enough to "hook" me, and I just couldnt bring myself to sell her. The other car I want to buy which I regret selling decades ago, is a HK HT or HG Monaro (even HQ) which I'll take in any format of model, but in VG orig condition. (Just missed a freshly fully restored 186S one for $60G)

They do look good - I prefer the face lift interior
That yellow v6 - never had a capri that goes so hard - don't know what's been done to it but it hammers!
