Anyone got any pics and do they go straight on without any problems?

Also would need refurbing so any recommendations n'd prices £££

 

you will need wheel nut washers i think you can get them off of some mondeos or new wheel nuts from someone like speed shack

 

Look on the database mate, there's a few on there with them fitted.
You might need to chop the arches a bit due to rubbing, dependant on your suspension.

New ones go for around £500-£700 without tyres. A refurb on a poor condition set is around £40-£50 per wheel inc paint.

 

youll need to shave your inner arches and use 205/40/17 tyres, ive got proxes which to the biz ok.

keep fat fookers out the back seat and dont go down any further than 40 mil

 

and ive been quoted scary prices for a refurb

 

Im having my RS 7's refurbed at the mo and it's costing me £45 per wheel to have them refurbed,2 of them straightened and all diamond cut

 

Considering a set for mine soon too, I think mines lowered 30-35mm max..will prob still need to trim the arches tho?

really do they sell for upto 700 for brand new ones without tyres?

 

They have done before on ebay mate. Crazy prices, but they look mint and not many new sets around anymore.

 

Lets see some pics, just to tempt me further into saving for a set


cheers Shawn, if a brand new set popped up on ebay, do you reckon they'd go no problem with no tyres for that sort of cash?

 

Im sure Alex zvh cabrio (i think thats who it was) had a brand new set and sold them on ebay for £800 not so long ago

 

their very soft by the way dave a scuff on a normal wheel will remove a gouge on these fellas

 

ive got a set just waiting on the right moment to stick on ebay,tbh i wouldnt sell mine for any less than 600 as i bought them knowin fine well that they were gonna be obselete soon and there prob the most sought after ford wheel,prob even more than the escos wheels
i seen 2 sets go for over 1k and have seen several go around the 700-800 mark on ebay

 

That soft eh pete? hmmm...do they flat spot/buckle easily? thats a bit of a bummer tho, but i'll try and avoid bumps (and kerbs ) anyway even with std wheels on!

 

a grand

To be honest though i wouldnt sell mine, they look far too on the car.

still want a set of standards as well though

 

talking bout RS 7 spokes any one here got a spare center cap? i can do with one willing to pay pm if any one can help cheers

 

I see one on ebay earlyer think it was £5

 

for the rest of the thread i found my self a lucky set for 50 quid

 

Get Lucid (or AJC the old owner) to post some pics of his again.
Here's the one of his from the database

RS_Stevie Welcome over mate.
Two sets, one for each car... greedy

 

THAT MAG FEATURE ON HIS CAR GOT ME HOOKED, LOVED THE PICS SO MUCH





















I WENT AND BOUGHT AN S1

 

A place in portsmouth www.roadwheel.co.uk but its a bit of a way for you mate even if you went to there fleet branch it still 170+ miles from you

 

Just a little I'm sure there'll be a few more local, cheers though

 

any one got a picture of the soft spoke rs 7 spokes on a s1 like willy youngs 1?

Liking these...

 

Think i actually prefer the soft spokes but its a hard decision - think the harder edges suit the angles but the soft spokes just look the absolute tits

 

hows that

 

Think i prefer the soft spokes like on Wullies car above, they look on his car and it sits perfect on them. Those must of been older pics of his car before the AP's and rear disks went on, should be going even quicker after the latest set of mods are finnished.

If you click "quote" on smitsturbo post above you can see how it looks in the reply box.

 

i have a brand new set of soft spokes i bought last year which have never been out of the boxes. If anyone whats to make me an offer please e-mail: Knowles82@hotmail.co.uk

Just to confirm they come with a full set of nuts, all literature relating to the wheels, etc. No tyres!

rs shawn ---- Cheers lads

 

my mate had the rears of his machined down a little(think either 3 or 5mm) so they wernt to wide then fitted a set of 195/40/17 tyres and did no arch mods

 

they both look gd on series 1 mate

 

I dunno, I just dont like the diamond cut ones! Soft spokes all the way!
