RR is a great forum for inspiration and education. But I must say that all these posts that are quick to point out when someone new does not follow the standard operating procedure for posting a topic are rather tiresome. Why not just send a friendly PM? I wouldn't be surprised if many folk after receiving such a welcome are less inclined to return and contribute.

Tiresome and also not representative of the views of the moderating team. I wouldn't suggesting sending a PM either. Quite simply, if you don't like the way a question is asked, don't answer it. In this particular case, I found the initial question to be perfectly reasonable. To answer the question, I can't think of any supplier for those wheels. They used to be relatively common but sadly trying to find a set these days (or a manufacturer) is difficult as their description brings up too many variables (steel 8 spoke, Minilite style, 13" steel wheel) which don't narrow down your search at all! If you do find a set they're likely to be rusty! Here's a car on chrome steels to keep the thread interesting!  |

They were branded as Interceptor rims in the UK from memory. Quite popular in the early 90's.

I don't think you'll find a set now apart from maybe the odd one on ebay.. I had a set of interceptors and they were by far the heaviest wheel I've ever witnessed, they mustve been made from 1/8" plate!!!
Maybe look at getting them aerocoated if the chrome is going bad?

Ita a polo Openair 6n2 which was made 99-01 but not many made with the ragtop and if it was it was a black one so mine having a red factory fitted one makes it quite rare , Plus I'm the only Polo by the looks of it with these rims : ) , Would look good on a MK 1 escort agreed ... |

Thanks all I will look at the Interceptor's some more but the DRAG 13x6 stamp must be something ? Just maybey one day they might be worth a re-chrome and putting away ? A better pic of the car I'm sure you will all agree that the price will only go up on this model polo ? www.flickr.com/photos/paulmorrison/7449977454/in/photostream |
