14 Inch 5Stud Mini-Lites

[Guest old AL]

Hi All, After selling my 2B a few weeks ago, I seen another 7 replica I liked so much decided "had to have it", its a total "one off" built by an engineer from scratch. (hand built chassis etc) Doner car was a 1985 2litre Granada. The thing is, it has standard Granada 14inch 5 stud alloys on it (I believe 14inch wheels were standard for 1985 only, 1986 were then 15 inch wheels) I had decided prior to buying it I would like to fit a set of Mini-lites (or the copy Minators) but can I find any 14inch 5stud (ford suitable) Min-lites (or similar pattern) anywhere CAN I H***L !!!!!! (I've tried alloy wheel finder through Google etc) Looks like I'm going to have to get the exsisting alloys polished up and keep those on the car unless someone has any idea where I'll get a set of Mini-lite type wheels. Regards to all AL

Thanks for that Marcus, I might be misunderstanding their website, but get the impression they state the wheels are drilled to order,just be my luck to give them the wrong info and finish up with £600 worth of wheels no good to me !!!!! I hope you are not thrashing the bones out of the 2B you bought from me !!!! This latest one might be a keeper for me,its a bit more refined for an "older person" wider than a 2B, longer than a 2B, Hydraulic clutch,E.F.I., and full size Saab leather seats for the more than standard fat a**e
