As it looks like my NSU wheelsain't gonna fit the Cortina now, I need some inspiration for what rims to put on it. At the moment it has Lotus steels on the front and GTE rims on the back. I'm pretty sure I can get another two of either, but what other rims would look good do you think? Pics, of course, are compulsery on this thread! ;D

Wide steels? Standard centres welded into a wide Weller rim maybe? Weller do their 13" steels up to 10" width, would look like this..... Check the old racing wheels (and prices!) on this site..... www.historicparts.co.uk/Parts_Wheels.htmThis aluminium/magnesium Brabham wheel is rather nice though.... Revolutions always look good on old Fords, though a tad predictable maybe? Also Cragar steel spokes, but that's more of a polished tube grille and metalflake kind of thing.

Hmmm, nothing there really floats my boat, I'm thinking maybe Centerlines.

I think you'd have to order them from the states - might be worth speaking to some of the dub suppliers like VW Speedshop in Manchester to see if they can help, or having a look on the forums at www.thesamba.com/vw for contact details. They're notoriously difficult to get hold of though. What about Image - they do custom splits as well don't they?
