You need to find two other people that want a set and then Speedline will make a batch of 12 to suit the Cosworth fitment. However, given that they are Ł500 EACH, no-one is willing.....

If you find three people that will put deposits down, I can order them no problem .

Well becuase they are a magnesium whell your better off buying a couple of spares as well in case you have a date with a curb So you would need one other person who wants a set of 6.................... I did want to buy a set of Speedline 2021 but no one would go halves with me

i have had a few subarus with speedline chronographs on,
they look cushti in gold,
but not all are magnesium,mine were light alloy.
they used to be approx 800 sovs with kuhmo's in 17"
and 1200 sovs with 18's in the back of the autotrader a few years
ago
without tyres the 18's were 800 iirc

Only the GT1s, but in alloy like the Grp A ones in your sig. However, only in shonky ET25....

I used to have them on my Escort...



Available in silver (and white):


My old wheels again (re-powder-coated sliver, as he thought gold was ).

They do, but everyone would have to agree on having either 19"s or 18"s .

I really like them but what worries me is what they would look like in 18's as I think part of the reason they look so 'kin cool on that blue WRC is because they are 19's. Also what would they look like in silver?

Offset would have to be ET15 IMO

19" ET15 in white sound a pleasure to me Mike I am sure you could 'haggle' with speedline to get the prices down a bit If I was to order them I would have to have 6 in case of any damages and i dont fancy paying 3k.....................

Well so far the responce is better than i thought it would be

After the pics of the blue one i posted up i think they would have to be 19" if we are going to pay all this money we may aswell go the full hog?

in Regards to ET, ESCYSCOTT's Oz wheels are 19" arnt they whats the ET of them?

if one was damaged couldnt we just buy another as they will be making more sets once we kick off with the first batch wont they?


so takers that may or may not want them but are intrested in a set are

I am only interested if they are white with ET15 offset though I also like the speedline 2021 18" Magnesium alloys............anyone interested lol

Also a chap on here called Chris who runs Carnoisseur Southend (cant remember his addy) once said if I ordered 12 he could get up to 40% off Not sure if that still stands though

The 40% off IS the Ł500 each price .

correct me if i'm wrong but rally teams used
magnesio because rally cars often smack kerbs and drive on
flats hence the need for a stronger wheel, i can just see a concours
cozzie driver,whizzing down the road sideways clipping kerbs and then
driving on a puncture for 2 miles,i reckon you will be ok with light alloy
also a rally driver i spoke to reckoned some of the latest light alloy
speedlines weigh so little and are so much stronger than wheels of old they save money and use them now
