RMD wheels
 

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

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?

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.

I am recycling something from my collection. Not made a descision yet :)

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.....:)

Unofficialy " Baby Cosworths " as they originaly appeard in much wider form on the Escort Cosworth.

TT

Like mine? :D



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

Just like that David,

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


Andy

He he he, that was before the swap ;)

Thank you David & Andy :)

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

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.

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

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?!
