Default Unusual RS alloys

Anyone seen these before? Presume they're just RS accessory wheels and not fitted to any particular car, but thought there may be someone on here who knows better??

They're 6x15s and ET40 and aren't XR4x4 ones before anyone says so, as there's no 'lip' around the edge like normal 7-spokes

Ive never seen an accessory RS 7 spoke wheel with a flat edge like that to the face before...

Even the 13" 7 spoke as fitted as accessories to mk2 xr2's had a lip!!

Is it possible they have been refurbed and had the lip machined off???

Those style of RS accessory wheels were available in quite a few sizes and offsets back in the day so who knows?

Was considering that, as have seen diamond cut ones where they've machined the lip off - It's just that the finish looks very 'factory', and not refurbed.

Edit: They're stamped as being made in 1995 too.

I know they're not special, just wondered if they were RS accessory wheels, or an option for a particular car.

As per my original post - I assumed they are an accessory wheel - I just wanted to check before putting anything into print.

(You fixed the Mondeo's misfire yet?)

my dad bought a brand new mk1 mondeo si with all the rs upgrade kit on, and that came with 16" versions of these, not 15s like these, and looking at a pic of it on the day of purchase, the wheels have the lip too

god i loved that car as a kid

yes Dan I have it was the bloody plug leads!!
for some reason on the mondeo if they have started breaking down then they fail at low rpm high torque situations which is what mine did, I put some new ones on and it's perfect again

should cure is Dan, I changed them after reading about it being the probable cause on the st owners club forum. presume yours does it from 1.5k rpm to about 3.5k. On mine as soon as the secondries opened it was fine that threw me off the scent for a while as I expected it to missfire at high rpm with duff plug leads..not so!

leads are the first thing to change when they start to misfire, but apparently ford leads are better and less prone to having these problems that aftermarket ones

time for a test?

They are odd. Even the capri 2.8i ones have a lip. The brooklands were a 16 or 17 i think.
