Default 5 stud Ford alloys or alternative

I am using granada hubs which are of the five stud flavour ..does anybody know of another production brand which has the same bolt PCD and would look nifty on the Roadster...looking to buy a cheap set and use some contacts to refurb them

I'm using a Cosworth Granada as a donor and at first I wasn't going to use the wheels but now its sitting on them I think they look pretty good, also I got lots of positive repspnses from members on here. If you can get hold of some Cossie Granny wheels you could copy me .

Oh yeah also forgot to say im using the Granada rear hubs and breaks and lsd on my build as well. But i opted for the 4 stud as using the sierra front hubs. You could change the hubs over to the Granada 4 stud ones if you wanted as its just a straight swap but would need to change your disks.

for the record. Granadas only came in 5 stud, the later bug eye scorpio changed to 4 stud.

I will be putting my Granny cossy wheels on my galaxy. which despite being a ford is actualy mostly a VW so I have to use adapters to match the VAG hub centers.
