Default Revolution RFX' On a Saph

Anyone got any pics? keep having 2nd thoughts on whether it would look good, only 16's too sp limited to the size of brakes that will go behind them. Love the wheels though, really old school

Low and spaced would look good.

I take it your on about Mikes, they are staggered too so would look cool IMO.

Good to be different.

there the ones shorty, refurb em, polished outers, maybe gold centres, old school, different and would look clean as hell!!

just unsure on the size of brakes i could fit behind them.

there an ET27 or 30 mike said too so dont think they'd need spacing ll that much

Just standard brakes with better discs and pads then. Standard brakes arn't actually that bad, just obviously they fade. Good for normal road use though.

Whats size were your brakes?

I am pretty sure they wouldn't fit under 330mm AP's, what about 315mm?

Standard brakes arnt that bad for the road Gaz. Just get some decent discs and pads, can spend the money elsewhere then and rep a good look of the RFX's. Win win IMO.

My and Stickys old 4x4 was alright when it went to the Ring on standard calipers with better discs and pads.

When I 1st had them on there quite a few years ago, it had 310mm discs

from hi sport with cossie 4 pots.

Its got 330 mm discs on there now with bigger 4 pots from godspeed,

which will need a slight shave of the calipers to fit over properly.

haha no mate i'm just playing.

you younger fuckers need to realise there was dudes into these cars before you were driving them and to disrespect the wheels that were available then is not baseball.
if you run revolutions on a sierra they need to be 8" wide to fill the arches,narrow ones don't sit as well fo sho'

I agree with marv, I recall back on the late 80's there were a few cossies- saffs and 3 doors running about with RFX's on, as these were ford's non grp a competition wheel of choice


Thanks

Pretty tidy condition too actually!
