Title: Alloy wheels
Post by Butterfingers on Feb 9^th, 2006, 8:26pm

Hi,

I'd be after a set of 12 spoke, 7 spoke, 4spoke whatever alloy wheels and whatever the standard size is for the Scorpio.

I'm located in London.
Thanks.

Russ,

Almost. I think. Whats the standard size for the Ultima 2.3 is it 15" or 16"? Or does it not matter?

Cheers.

all scorpio alloys were 15" standard, including the ghia x (in the link) and the early ultima (teardrop style). the later ultmas/cosworths were fitted with the 12 spoke alloys that are 16". any one of these styles will fit your scorpio, its down tour own taste, and what you want to spend on them.

I still have the 12 spokers.
To refurb will cost about £35 each wheel. but that is down to bare metal shot/sand blast and repaint and laquer.
Or you could rub the wheels down and repaint yourself.

;D
They are a bit old.
I salvaged them off my skateboard from the seventies, not sure of the make but they are made of rubber, not nylon or some polly wolly doodle thingy substance.
The matchbox wheels are nylon tho, plenty of life left in those.
Oh yeh my daughters hamster died last week so i also have an exercise wheel from its cage.
Poor bleeder. :'(
But if anybody can use it, then its free, but i will have to charge postage of 8% above inflation, because that is how much my local council is putting up my council tax by.
Then there is the energy cost increase too.
About £100 plus the vat should do it. :o }{ :P

Does anyone know the increase in Bhp installing one or more hamster wheels would give?

Depends wether you include one or two hamsters, their gender and wether you give them lettuce, carrots or oats ;D

Thanks for all the responses and offers so far. As it happens I am now committed to buying Jasesapphy's that he advertised on Ebay. Just in case it does fall through, I'll come back to you guys on here. (Providing they're still available of course).

PS I might want those skateboard wheels for the vacuum cleaner ;D

JAY,
SORRY THE WHEELS ARE NO GOOD TO ME.
WAS LOOKING FOR TRICKYSTICKYWICKY COMPOUND.
CONDOLENCES ON THE HAMPSTER BUT AT LEAST YOU SHOULD GET SOME NICE TULIPS THIS YEAR.
