a good pal of mine and someone known to a few on here as my fearless co-pilot ( John the Plumb ) asked me to post up for a set of Lotus style wheels, apparently to those in the know that'll be enough of a description ( i gather we're talking about the wheels fitted to Lotus Cortina Mk1's etc).....
so if you have or know of a set that's kicking around soemwhere shout out please...........

From memory the steels were made by Dunlop and were 5.5J x 13, I used to run a set on my mark one escort many, many years ago, wish I still had it seeing the price they now go for :cry:
