Yes I think originally they were OZ Ford WRC Magnesium wheels.  later made for other fitments as Oz Racing Magnesium (i think).. an alternative to look out for is Compomotive TH.

They are nice though  :laugh:

I think I will stick with the plan of the BBS for now and just get the use out of the car..... there's always time to splash the cash later.

BTW I'm still at a dead end in finding any hard data about these conversions, the turbo effect on them is great though but you do have to be in the "Zone ": to make it work right.

Being a MK1 nut the closest I can find is THIS  They're talking about Mk1's but it's the same motor.

the user on that site turbtechnicsMK1 knows his stuff.

No the MK1 Conv is a 1.6 with a fast road cam in a 1.8 Shell, I didn't build it that way it's how it came.

It was a 500 quid basket case when I got but 1000 sheets on from that it's nearly pulled around.

It is a weird combo of 1.6 screamer on a 1.8 box :shocked:
