i got mine from essex, seems to be the place where most old fords survive lol

the widest tyres you can fit on standard arches with these wheels are 205s

because of the offset the tyres sit right inline with standard arches so if you lower the car they rub like hell

with x-pack arches you can get away with pretty much anything up to a 240/50/13

midland wheels have started reproducing the 7 inch versions of these wheels,

the ones everyone wants are the 7.5 inch versions but nobody ctually wants to pay for them, it cost me a fortune to actually get these wheels on my car and i'll be very surprised if anyone finds a mint set with tyres and nuts for under a grand

Excellent, someone not afraid to trust their own work.

it amazes me that people get spooked about cutting and welding a wheel , yet carry out loads of other mods that are not factory fit.
