RE: *MAXXD* Clare's Ford Escort Cabriolet "Big Cab"
We've been today and ordered the wheels, well the rears anyway.

We got there and seeing them in the flesh there was no contest. We were instantly drawn to the DM. The other were okay but the DM just kept grabbing our attention.

We also WAS adamant that we wanted graphite but seeing the silver DM and how awesome they looked we decided to go for the silver.

We've gone for 19“ x 12j with a 6“ outer dish. We wanted a bigger dish but all the adding up came out to just 6“. Even the guy thought the F40 kit usually had a 7 or even 8“ dish but the big bells and rotas on the back aswell as the caliper has reduced our dish size by about 1 and half inch. So to have the maximum 8“ we would have to go back to rear drums and that aint happening. So a modest 6" will have to be enough. Lol.

The one pictured is a 18 and flat spoke. The guy said going up to 19 the spoke has a slight curve to it but this allows for the maximum dish size posible so all good. lol

Been to Ford today for 2 new M16 locking nuts that I ordered yesterdsay and I got there to find they had sent the wrong ones. Grrrrrrrr. So got to go back tomorrow. Fuckin idiots.

As soon as I finally get the right ones I can rebiuld the rear end with the new arms and bushes.

Can't use the old ones as Mr Grinder had needed to have a word last week. Lol.
