Question

Would anyone's know if globe wheels ever offered when the Australian assembled capri were sold.
Or was it only Xw and xy
Dad was asking

As Marty said, Globes were available then, but I dont think they were ever offerred as factory options from the dealer like maybe with the Falcons etc. They would have been fitted aftermarket.
 
You could get the Rostyle, or the "Minilight' syle, alloy hub with steel rims as Ford options, both being only 5.5", so looked skinny IMHO.
Sad to say, I have or have had, all of the wheels mentioned.
I put new Globe wheels on the Capri about 30 years ago;

When I bought them new about 30 years ago, I was annoyed that the tyre shop got my order wrong. They were meant to come machined with a cap that covered the wheel nuts. That style was the rage, probably for 6 months or so.They got sold a few years ago. How is the budget bumperettes? Chopped up a perfectly good front bumper to make them.
That was years before buying proper examples.
 
The Original ford wheels I had are now on another members Capri on the forum.
Capri's look good with any wheel!
 
 

funny how some things get cursed.
I've chucked out tools that have bitten me too many times, usually preceeded with 'ooh you little [link=mailto:b@stard"]b@stard"[/link] then flung in the bin.
 
Karma goes double for any boat stuff, anything onboard has to be certified as having no prior history.

Yep budget bumperettes Deano. I cut the lip off the front wheel arches of my first MK1 Escort so I could put a flare on the guards. No money, no brains

what about inside the rim Reeni?
Do you have one with the tyre off?
Can you post a picture?

That smashed one looked really bent into the cabin, the steering wheel looked like it broke on impact from the driver, wonder if the seatbelt broke. Reckon the driver walked thru the pearly gates with that accident which is sad.. To get repair parts is get another car and cut everything off but in the end it's virtually reshelling it with some saved parts.

A bit late but to load pics you'll need to go in the main site and then where you write it'll have at top of the window 'open full version' you can access this on the phone and load pics. For some reason pics don't go past about 47% loading when on normal phone view
Globes usually came in 5in, 5.5in and 6in in 13in rims , measure from the bead not outside of rim, I bit hard when tyres are still on. My MK2 has Chevoit Star 13 x 6.5 on a cortina offset I think so the sit in a little, tyres are only 185 65 , I used to drive it sideways a lot lol

Yes the belt had broken seat also.
seat un bolted. If the case the driver has passed away. He or she would be happy it’s going into good hands.
Car had minor restoration, all tyres not road worthy.
Rear seat belts in worse condition.
We both have been looking on line, searching what pressed panels and floors are available
Depending on the rain the front of the car will be cut away to remove the engine.
If it’s going to be repaired only new parts will be used. Plan is full custom v8 flash interior suspension wheels
