Anyone know where to get them?Am hopeing to have an escos for this spring/summer and would love to have her wearing these rims
I think you ll be able to guess which car has me hankering after them
Thanks!!

 

I love these wheels too.
Dont think you will have much luck though..
I think Speedline only make these if the get a group order. If you can find a few other people who would be willing to put their money down...
Not easy!!

Email Speedline and ask.

Oh, Hello btw, and welcome to PF!

 

mught be easier to get a set of rondells and cut the spokes out

Great wheels the speedlines just very rare

 

Where these rims ever an of the shelf item though?IMO a cossie needs 19s to fill the arches,wot are the other options?

I have been browsing this site for a while now,and have followed Paul Ripleys "monte" thread with interest,and was amazed at how quick the first batch sold at...........would a batch of the speedlines corse(or a replica)fit the likes of the focus rs/new shape st etc..as well as the escos??

 

IIRC Speedline will make another batch but I think it's got to be a minimum of 12 wheels that need to be ordered!

I forget the exact prices and figures but I think it worked out somewhere near £2000 for the wheels alone!

The car in question that has inspired you (P9 FMC, Blue WRC Car) had these wheels in Magnesium too which is a damn site more than alloy!

18's are fine and seem to suit the handling of the Escorts perfectly, if you want 19's then OZ do the Super Leggera in 19'' that look superb!

 

Superleggeras have been out of production for quite some time, and dont exactly grom on trees...

 

Thanks for the info everyone,so really we need 3 people to order 4 wheels each.......hmmm,it is pretty expensive,but then again its BBS LM price bracket.

Im sure between the escos and Frs people here alone we could get the minimuim order?

I had thought about the superleggera but they seem so hard to come by Plus if there was the possibility of the corse in 8.5 x 19 i know which id prefer

 

If it helps I'd order some, why not ask the company that took on Paul's Monte wheels?

 

Good man gary!! Think it was compomotive that did the montes??

 

The Italians don't seem to be interested. I spoke to Speedline UK on a number of occasions and got nowhere - they tried getting the Italians to do something, but they wouldn't even answer emails on the subject from their own UK importers .

 

i'd possibly be up for a set?

 

Im sure when this was up before jbrayley was interested in a set of 5.

 

Thats a real shame,and very un-professional on speedlines part but if thats how it is then we ll just have to go back to the drawing board

I wonder would compomotive be prepared to make a "similar" copy.......

 

Compomotive will probably make any wheel mould if you pay for it at £10K+Vat. The design of the wheels is only a part of the mould thou with another 4/5 moulds and dies needed for the rest of the wheel so if you wanted 19"s which I don't think Compomotive have a mould for you could be talking another 30/40K

 

Aww well,thats that then really thanks for your brutal honesty mate,I was hopeing you would take a look at this thread seen as you would have known the pitfalls with the montes Tis a shame i woulda loved them for my car.......

 

They should make RL7's then!!

 

I would have a set for sure
