Four spokes
Is there such thing as 14" four spokes. I didn't think there was but I have just seen a cortina advertised with '14" ford four
spokes' and they look like them in the picture.

'Rocket Racing' (if they are still going, a company from the USof A) used to make a lovely 4 spoke alloy wheel (see the film '2 lane
black top' ) and Revolution also used to make a lovely 4 spoke.
Enjoy.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Revolution -- a good strong but light wheel but not designed for looks.

The 4 spokes seem to be all 13" in widths up to 7j. The later RS are 7 spokes as fitted to RS turbo Escorts.Have a look on here

There seems to be a thriving industry surrounding old Capris.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

re Capri/Escort industry - one guy is making a load of money selling Hillman Hunter front flashers as "verry very very very rare genuine
works Escort RS parts", they were fitted by the works to group 2 rally cars for a couple of seasons last I saw the grockles who have never
seen a Hillman Hunter were paying 80 quid a pair.
