Brake clearance will be the only issue, for those with larger than standard brakes!!

But looks simply stunning

There was a topic on these a while ago and everyone wanted them. At the time all they had to go on was a photoshop and was thinking of getting them mass produced. Maybe someone should BTTT the topic with a link as so many people wanted them.

anyone know who is manufacturing them? presume the guy must work in the wheel business,not something your likely to knock up in your shed he must have had to produce a certain amount of them to make it worth while? i think the price is fair considering that someones gone to the trouble of actually making/producing them

Matcos spoke to him at ford fair and he wasnt sure if they would clear AP's. TBH that would have been top of my list on the drawing board stage. What good are they if they wont fit over AP's ,yeah nice and very very different but to not ensure that they will clear AP's after what i can only presume will have been a fair bit of expense on his behalf to me seems like a bit of a schoolboy error????

How many of you guys would buy these wheels even if it meant taking your AP's off and going back to standard brakes ?

Thats why i was going to use an old style mo to start with so that 380mm brakes with 6 pot ap`s would fit lol, also hope he has got them tested and aproved as if anyone has any problems with them or crashes ect then he could end up in prison or with a very very big pay out, as this is what stopped me from going any more in to it, its allright to make a set for yourself but if you start to sell them, then it becomes a very different thing all together.
Still they look good, would have liked to see them fill the arch a bit more but fare play to him and i hope all goes well

Cossiecrazy on the RS board has ordered a set and he tried one on over his hi-spec brakes (not sure of the size) and the fitted fine.

He said he will send me some pics when they are on

Yep, I wasnt putting a downer on them guys, In fact the opposite im really pleased hes done it.....Just wish he didnt own a red one all i was saying is that if i had had them made/developed this would have been the first thing i made really sure of. Not many people want 18" wheels with standard brakes behind them especially some of the guys on here who run stage 1 + as the brakes are essential with that sort of power.

I really really hope that the wheels do fit over AP's,hi spec etc so everybody will go out and buy some and then rondells/engells will become rare again
