Escort XR3i alloys???

[Lukas]

Gday

Does anybody know where I can find some alloy wheels for a 1989 Escort XR3i Cabriolet?

This car is a UK import, theres not many in Australia. And theres not many cars in Oz that have a 4x108 wheel-stud pattern... so Im having trouble finding much to fit.

Any ideas or tips about where to look would be much appreciated.

I already checked Cantebury Tyres in Bayswater.. even they only had about 3 styles to fit.

I reckon Ill end up buying some on ebay.uk and havin em shipped over (costly!!!)

Heres some pics, and a pic of some cool Rims they have in the UK that would fit.







Im thinking of putting these on it. 16" Cades Eros (only 300 of Her Majesty's British Pounds for shipping )

First of all, nice Eskie! Would some of the mag suppliers be able to supply the style you want with the right pattern and offset?

I did a quick search and found this list of cars on a US forum that have a 4 x 108mm pattern. They have different centre diameters listed at the end, as well. I don't think they list the offset, though.

Hope that gives you more food for thought....

I thought this would a good sticky as 4 x 108 is not the most common pattern.

To follow up: The reason why 4 x 108 is not a common pattern is because its use is more for european applications hence another addition is made for our focaljetters across seas.

Maybe someone can add the range of acceptable offsets and rim diameters.

Are you in WA? If so i had a black XR3i with standard 14 inch alloys and sold it to a freind, he was unsure what he was going to do with it, so PM me if in WA and i can maybe help you out.
