I agree mate! I searched for pictures of 'RS turbo alloys' and it came up with the actual ones. Not these. Any idea what these are then? lol

they don't even look like RS Option wheels - they're probably TSW's with RS centercap stickers on them

i won't say it serves you right for not researching the authenticity of the wheels, but it does

I hope you didn't pay a lot for these ,they look like the super cheapo 5 spokes that everyone used to get when 17" wheels were all the rage, they were very popular as they were very cheap

you may well be new, but you've found passionford, and a question such as

"are these wheels genuine ford items?"

was only a single click away

Hmmm.... I was going to reply with a cheeky one liner....but I feel sorry for you in a way - As said they aren't rs turbo rims Or any ford rim by the looks of things!

Those wheels are KN DITEC's, old wheel popular in the late 90s, absolutley nothing like any RS wheel ever.

I cant beliveve people can be so gullible! Im off to stick some Ferrari stickers on the centrecaps of some XR3 cloverleafs and make me a fortune

Dont build a cossie rep 1.3 mate FFS.

Wasnt you gonna do a Skyline as a project, or a drift car, or something?
