The ones I have are ET13 an ET15. No good for a road going S1 unfortunately. They need to be around ET35.

You'd have to ask Compomotive on that one. That's if they still have the moulds for them. They were made from magnesium alloy too IIRC. One MH with slick tyre weighed less than one of my MO's without tyre.

Yes it is a road car at the moment. The wheels stick out that far the tyres touch the arches.

No, they are staying where they are!

I'm looking to have them modified to increase the offset, eventually.

It probably didn't have any arches left after they were cut back. I think they were flared further than the standard S1 arches.

Mine were the narrow set used on the Datapost car at 7" wide. I think there was a 9" wide set also used on the car.

I knew there was a unfeasibly wide (for an RST) set used on the car.

Mine are the narrower set that was used on the car.

Am I right in thinking you got an 8" wide set of wheels with the car also?
