Calling all Ford nerds - Sierra GLS Alloys!!
Having a disagreement with a mate about Sierra GLS wheels. I know the later ones had wheel trims like this...
http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4039/4...2a99cd8b06.jpg But I'm sure that the early Mk2 GLS Sierras had pretty much identical alloys. I presume they switched to save costs. My mate is convinced they were always wheel trims, but I can't find anything online to prove my point... Does anyone have any pics, or has anyone owned a Sierra GLS with OE alloys???? |
My dad had a GLS, but that was on wheel trims, don't really remember seeing any with alloys
|
Wheel trims, granadas had them as alloys.
|
Don't ever remember the Sierra 2.0 Glsii having alloys all Dojj will know no doubt
|
The vast majority had trims - but it was the early ones, I'm 99% convinced they were alloy!

From a 1992 ford brochure.
|
Early ones had trims,later alloys as Glenn has shown.We had a brand new 89 glsi it was on trims.Plus out of the other probably 200 Sierras we had nothing except ghia,XR or cosworth came with alloys.Facelifts got them on the special editions as they were coming to an end.
|
The sierras were/are a good old car.I do like a nice looking hatchback.
|
The alloys in the brochure on the 92 car where fitted on the 90 onwards glx also. The glsi had special steel wheels with larger and smaller holes to line up with the wheel trim. A bit like the structure wheels on the 07 focus and vectra exclusive.
|
With you there Glenn.
Sad as it is I would love a silver mk1 Ghia with alloys running 45's :grin: |
Even the glsi v6 4x4 had wheel trims. Poor mans xr4x4............

Those alloy wheels are very different to the trims Dan posted!
|
they also had a pepper pot version on the early ones
|
Where the not just an option like the xr2?
I thought some come with the alloys in pic below ? http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/wp-c...0980057510.jpg |
Sure they all had trims as in the first picture then moved to a different trim on facelift then finally a alloy similar to dog leg. The pepper pot type trim was on a mk1 2.0 is. I'd love one of them!

All those brochures are way too new being late 80s/early 90s!
This thread hasn't gone nearly geeky enough yet to uncover any pre production (at best!) GLS alloys. :cry: |
