RMD wheels

[davidimurray]

Has anyone bought a set of the RMD kit car wheels? I had a look at them at Stoneleigh and they looked very nice. I would love to have a set of Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s but at over £30 more per wheel I am struggling to justify the extra £120 that will pay for some other nice goodies!

Just wondered if anyone had any opinions on these wheels?

Are these the one's Dave ?

RMD Alloys (http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/popup_image.php?pID=15408)

Never come across them before, I quite like them though :)

The price is certainly a lot lower that the Team Dynamic's 1.2's

May I ask if you saw them on a RD stand at a show or have you seen them being sold direct ?

That is the kinda look I want for my build & at a price that I can live with :cool: :)

Yup those are the ones Ronnie.

I saw them on the RD stand at Stoneleigh. The wheels only come in ford fitment and a single size. But that has allowed Rally Design to order a big batch and hence the price.

I think one of the members on here is connected with Rally Design - perhaps they could give us some more info?

[Bonzo]

Thank's Dave :)

With a little luck, I might be able to see them in the flesh at Exeter this year.

Being a Ford only fit is a bonus for me, for some strange reason I really do not like multi fit alloys ( Unless they have a centre cap ) :confused:

As said, they have the multi spoke look that I had in mind :cool:

Personally, I have a sweet spot for the Minilite alloys but the sheer cost of them is prohibitive at the moment :eek:

I bought a pair of pro race 1.2's 15" in black off ebay for £255+ £30 postage so there are deals to be had. Perfect condition apart from 1 which has a small kerb on it.

Keep a look out you might find a bargin.

Here's whats on my build at the mo

They came off an Escort GTI, I am sure TT will know what they are called :)

Could live with them if I had too .... Got a nice new set of Toyo's ready to fit to whatever I end up with :) :)

They look nice Ronnie, if you sand all the scuffs off them and take them into a car sprayer and get them painted and lacquered, black i would say, they will look really cool. Go well with the Red.

Look very similar to mine.....:)

Although they're white at the mo, need redoing back to how they were in the above pic.

[spud69]

Just like that David,

look really good except your bonnet is not sticking up....;)

He he he, that was before the swap ;)

[Bonzo]

Thank you David & Andy :)

They do not look too bad in Black do they :) :)

[David_17]

No problem. :) Here's how they look in white.

Nightmare to keep clean tho, especially after going on a trackday, the brake dust melts into the paint.

[Bonzo]

Thank you David :)

I must say, quite taken by them in White :cool:

Probably go rather well with Red, don't know if it's just me .... They seem to look a little bit more dainty in White.

No problem keeping them clean .... I'll just get the wife to do it .... Then the fight started :D :D

[David_17]

Hahaha. If you're doing them white, i'd reccommend getting them powdercoated or atleast done professionaly with 2k paint. (if you plan on ever going on the track)

Normal road use is fine with a DIY paint job (halfords aerosols in the both the pics i've posted)

I'm thinking of getting some of those ' baby cosworth' wheels, does that width work ok on a roadster? my donor has 5.5 inch wheels on, I think the escort gti ones are 7 inch?!
