Title: Replacement for 15 x 6 Pre AU Ford wheels, +6 offset?
Post by: jwm on November 14, 2013, 05:49:47 PM
My FE runs 15 x 6 steel Ford Rims pre AU with a +6 offset and I am looking to buy an aftermarket custom wheel, mags etc to dress the car up a bit more. Looking for something a bit old school but there doesn't seem to be much out there, either new or old.

I can get a set of custom wheels made at around $650.00 per wheel but that seems a bit excessive. I have thought about just respraying the rims and going with a centre cap, outer chrome rim and chrome nuts but I thought I would just put it out there and maybe some of the knowledgable forum members may have seen, heard or know of something appropriate

Why does it run the 15 inch ford wheels? Because it has P76 Rotors fitted and they converted the rear axles to the same stud pattern.

I could probably go a little bit wider on the rear but not on the front as it is getting very close to fowling the steering arm


Thanks guys.

FCRB26, Lots of rims? Please point me in the right direction, I've done the ebay thing, google thing and been to a number of tyre/wheel dealers and they all just look at me blankly.

I don't mind the steelie with the baby moon look or the 5 spoke look.

I actually spoke with Bordline Classic Imports this afternoon and he said he might have steelies in that configuration at $200 ea.
