monzta Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The one with the metal brackets are old Irmscher ones. They are much better quality than the other ones, and will hold even when given a proper beating on the rallytrack They are also pretty easy to fit BMW black DE lights to Those rims are massive, what brand is it, it´s not BBS are they ? They are really nice and will fit a 400 replica perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) they have conponents automotive ltd on the back of them. and made in england. i dont know if i'll get tires for them or not. like how much would be a tire be for a 13 inch wheel and 10inch wide?? lol Edited August 3, 2011 by adz the stig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzta Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Really, thats weird, have had them a couple of times, all branded "irsmcher".. Well some say that you learn a new thing every day, and that must be mine then 10" rims need the 235/50-13 tyres. I thought that yokohama was the only ones that did that size, but BF Goodrich aslo does them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-2-BF-Goodrich-235-50-13-tyres-suit-Capri-Escort-/200631587037?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&hash=item2eb69310dd#ht_500wt_949 Not too pricy either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 aye you are right lol. thats whats on the back on the alloys. are they a well know alloy maker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallycinq Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 aye you are right lol. thats whats on the back on the alloys. are they a well know alloy maker? Check out this months Retro Cars. They are Compomotives. Cheers D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 right i cant find anywhere that sells the tires i need. raging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzta Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) They are Compomotive CX wheels, and they are VERY pricy in good condition. I am not sure what cars they have been made for back in the day but i would say that it´s propably a BBS replica wheel that could have been used for 70´s BMW E21´s maybe ? Or 2002 Tii cars ? Anyway, this is how they could look like after a bit of cleaning Absolutely awsome rims ! Regarding tyres just search ebay for 235/50-13 tyres.

adz the stig Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 how do you keep them clean from brake dust rab? i did think about painting mine white but i think the cleaning of them put me off! lol i think gold would be nice but i think i'll be going for black!

Drive like miss daisy! If you can get them spotless, you can get sealants/waxes that makes them a lot easier to clean in future. Gotta keep on top of it tho.
