Default Grp-A Magnesium wheels Questions

What offset are Escort Cosworth Grp-A alloy wheels? and what are the Grp-A inserts on the wheels?? Also I asked last week but who was the company that refurbs magnesium wheels was given a link but can't find due to no search
What does a normal OZ racing rally wheel in 15" weight compared to the same in magnesium?


Thanks Paul

No you don't Doug.

If those are 17s and a nice offset, you really need to be selling them to me!

Yes, they are 17 x 8 Mag SuperLites.......The chap that sold them to me has a total of 32 of them, most with brand new tyres on, but would only sell me 5 wheels (for now) as he is keeping the rest back as the "spares package" to go with the Group A Es Cossie Rally car that he is selling.......if the buyer of the car wants them......
