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!

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!

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?

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 .

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
