Ford Wheels

[captainpugwash]

I'm after some 9 x 13" Ford rwd wheels, loads of minilite types on offer but they are all very heavy, these are for a Westfield. Any suggestions?

New or used

No specific budget but don't want to spend a fortune

Yes, Force are great (got 2 sets) don't really want to spend that much though, they are just for wets !

Given the size, I can't imagine there are too many off the shelf options ?

What are other people using ?

A quick google does seem the classic minilite style or old revolution 4 spokes are most common.

Or some 8" steel's on ebay

I'd wonder which is lighter ? "lightweight" wheels, tend to be anything but lightweight.

Yes it's a bit limited in 9" !

Probably have to go for minilite style I expect, can't really justify spending an extra £150 a wheel when they hardly get used.

Then hunt for some second hand. Or buy a tyre machine and balancer and swap the tyres to existing wheels as needed lol.

www.3SDM.co.uk have a range of 13” 1pc and 3pc forged wheels being introduced at autosport. Not cheap but can make almost anything you want and tailored for the application.

Team Dynamics wheels are usually the lightest o RS you can get before going magnesium

Yep, the team dynamics pro race 1.2... but they have stopped making most small wheel sizes, hence a lot of guys have started buying Braid winrace wheels.
