Default Brand new 8x18 Compomotive TH's Monte style group buy

Martin Hadland@Reyland MAY be able to persuade Compomotive to do a one off run of these wheels if there was enough interest need 10 sets (40 wheels) or 8 sets of 5 if you wanted a spare.
They would be in ET15 (perfect for the Escort Cosworth) and would be availble in most colours.
If your interested please say

These are the wheels in 8x16' version so you can imagine how the 18's would look

Price wise I'd imagine they would be the same as the rest of the Compomotive range of the same size.

Maxest I've been searching high and low for a better picture! a while back someone in europe posted a pic of a red Escos with white 8x17's which looked awesome can't find it thou

I'll keep trying

Nah wouldn't sticker them up with OZ logos as I think It might be a bit weird having OZ logos on Compomotive wheels. Properly come up with something to put on them thou

Depending on price, of course, I would be interested in 5 of them in 18-inch.

The TH is only made in 13" and 14" sizes at the moment, hence why you cant find one in 18". I would be VERY surprised if they did produce this wheel in that size, but pleasantly so!

The TH2 is available in 18", but looks COMPLETELY different to the 17" version you have pictured, so it wouldn't just be a case of filling in the holes like on a 17" TH2 - it would require a complete redesign, which is a LOT of work for just 10 sets of wheels....

TH is currently made in 13,14, 15 and 16 by Compomotive. The 15 and 16's are only availible through dubmeister though in a bufty
diamond cut finish.

I'm 99% sure the TH was made in 18" as I have an old brochure that states it I will dig it out

TH2 in 18" has less spokes then the 17" hense why the photoshop was done of a 17" which has the right amount spokes.

I'm hoping there is still a slim possiblilty compomotive still have the original 18" mould not just a case of filling holes as that would be a silly request for 10 sets of wheels wouldn't it Mike

Martin its over to you

I thought it was OZ Racing who made those 8"x18" Wheels. There just slightly different but the same idea.
