they are 33mm in diameter inc tyre.
28mm without tyres
the inside measurement of chrome lip is 24-25mm this is the space in middle of wheel which you have to fit a insert/wheel design of your own.
they suit escort mk3's spot on along with other models

its taken me ages to find the right set for it as they need to be smaller than the other wheels i got so you can slam it low.
will keep u posted.

rather than starting again i've touched it up a bit and looks better, put thinner wheels on so they fit inside the arches, painted the door handles, locks and petrol cap and touched up around the windows with a THIN paint brush lol still not perfect but never will be.

it al depends on what size these wheels are mate,if they off a 1/18 jada they no gud,many 1/24 jada will be spot on or ask dave of here.
the 2 cossie's u got have diff wheels,the minichamps 1 is a solid wheel & the autoart is also solid but the face pops out.
if you get the cossie wheels with the tyre's off,put them face to face(or messure them) with the deep dish rims u can see what needs to be cut out,sometimes the cossie wheels needs triming down as they have a lump on that holds the tyres in place (minichamps).
on most deep dish rims its just the spoke bit that have to come out,once out you can get the cossie wheel in & see what needs triming & that should be it,be careful not to trim to much or they not fit together.
hope you understand as i ant the best at trying to explain lol

if u cut away to much then a bit of miliput will sort out any problems.
the minichamps cossie wheels fit into the rims i have .
they just need a light sanding around edge and they will slot into the rim.(once u cut out vthe old spokes)

been doing some models 2nite to stay away from ebay as its a bad place lol
desided to take off all the decals on the r5,think it looks better but it will be painted blue 1 day like my old 1 was.
i took the wheels off aswel,made them into deep dish for the bimma.the 1's on it atm are just temp even tho i like them,but dont have tyre's on so i painted a black lip on lol & gave it some samco hoses





here is the deep dish rims,wud look beta if the lip was chrome but was yellow b4. me love it



& did some work on the turbo,al windows in,painted all interior again,window/door rubbers as its shit paint tha comes off.
desided on the six spokes so fiitted,just needs spoiler,grill & doors painting then can get the decals on & its done



thats it for now.
