Dont know ...Lee.. I have scorpio wheels, But mine are 7 spoke. They look a lot better than mine. Good for someone though, As long as the tyres are the right weight rate. Rick.

Cheers for the heads up,
Pete

As shepster says they are of a granada, the cosworth i think,have just fitted a set to our bus .They arent quite as nice looking as the ebay ones though but they were only 70 quid for 5, the only problem is most of the tyres on the granada are on a 91 load rating which is rated to about the kurbside weight of a bus so add camping gear and people and you are soon over the load rating of the tyres.
And as most insurance companies are thieving gets and will use any excuse not to pay out if you claim you should be aware of the load rating might and could be an issue.
Min load rating wants to be aleast 94 or better to go 97 which gives load of room for loading the van up for that booze run.
As i found out at 70 quid the wheels didnt seem bad value until i had to get new tyres aswell, maybe im just being over cautious after being nearly stroked off by an issurance company in the past .
On a bright note though they do look nice and theres not that many about.
