I looked at a used set of 7*13" minilitalookalikes in a local wheel dealer
but they were asking 220 pounds for four. not really my idea of a
secondhand bargain.
there's quite a few 'secondhand' wheel shops in Glasgow,
each with a staff full of shady characters:-
Bring your locking wheel-nuts if you ever visit.
I'm tring to visualise my alpine with polished Ford RS (i.e. Capri /
"revolution"?)
four-spokes.They're cheap and plentiful here (i.e. 70/80 pounds a set)
I think it might look quite nice!
either that or a bog-standard set of 6*13 ford steels for maybe 10 quid
--------
remember to check the wheel doesn't hit those raised lumps on your
rear brake drums, else you'll crack the drum. - (use a spacer)
