Interesting day today Bagged these for a bargain on fleebay, not retro but hey i like them  Couple of fitment issues but nothing that cant be resolved   Looks much less sorry for itself on these i think! I would've liked some "14 options wheels from the mk3 but for sub £50 i couldnt turn them down. Just need a tyre for one of them. Ive also got a peco downpipe back exhaust on its way too |

Those wheels quite suit it.
I like it with the steels too.
Completely different looks, with the steels, apart from the modern cars, the photo could've been taken int the late '80s and with the alloys, it looks very much early 2000s.

Thanks, quite honestly i cant stand the steels! The more i look at it now, the more i like it! |

Hi guys n gals Managed to get a few hours on the car in the last week, fiestly the peko exhaust came through, i think its for an ohv engine but its boltes up and not knocking on anything ( was in terrible condition so its been re-conditioned)  Cleaned and paintes the rear 1/3 of the car and re-furbed the arb, also a pic of the exhaust fitted  Getting closer and closer to seeing the road! Just need some proper alloy wheel bolts as i cant use the ones on it on the road because the bolts are too narrow. Any help there would be appreciated!! |

I get the problem you're having now, you need 'ghia' wheel bolts, they have a little collar on them. I'll post a pic up, speedshack used to sell them iirc.

Yeah they're the ones i need, I'm told the later focus's have washer that will knock off so you can use them, i think its that or a set of wobble bolts! I have the ghia but the bolts arent like that!

Don't Focii have nuts and studs rather than bolts? Not sure whether that would work or not.
I think the Ghia reference comes from earlier Fords, but could be wrong.
I was going to fit some Capri RS7's to my old Escort which is how I ended up buying a set of these bolts.
I had a look on ebay last night and they're £50 a set!!! Bloody scene tax.

use standard alloy bolts with the washers from any ford with alooys and wheel nuts , put the washers over the fiesta bolt washers

Changed her up a bit today, swapped out the 15's as they rubbed and where becoming a hassle to fit properly! Landed these though!    Not sure what make they are though? Anyone recognise them? |
