If they’re not what you’re looking for, I’ve been after a set for years 😉

I don't think they were meant to be a scaled up version of the factory wheel - just bespoke racing wheels made by Speedline (after all just a manufacturer, not a model name) for the Vento Cup. They look very nice though, and interesting to see them close up.

100 percent they are a unique alloy agreed and I imagine if you posted a pic on the MK3 forum of prototype Rallye with them on they would be highly sort after. Rarest alloy out the lot at a guess.

Don't tell them - let it be a Corrado Forum secret! They are scarce enough as it is.

I bet they don't even know they came on a Vento racing car  so will keep it hush . I imagine they are unique as they made them 7.5 to get some larger callipers in there, corse are 7J I believe.

These look similar but with a central concave dome.

I have a set of those, I don't think the caps are correct? They owe me £20 and are Subaru fit with larger centre bore ex Forrester I believe

That is a great buy for someone - the speedline caps will cost probably about £40.00 for a set- they are from the same family of race wheels as the Vento you can see that from just looking at them-  they are 7J  vento are 7.5 but that makes no odds.

Got my other alloys done at the same time as the Vento Speedlines- there is a price war going on in the powder coating world of Birmingham and for OE silver your looking at £30.00 an alloy complete strip and paint- believe it or not that is the best company as some are as low as £20 .00- £15.00 an alloy. 

Going to give a big shout out to the BBS RX226 - every bit a good looking alloy as the vento and perfect for a rado at 7J x 16 x 5 x 100. Alloys with original caps.

Finally got the caps and the wheels have completed there refurbishment - just need to get them on my car or hang them on my wall ha! Pictures of completed alloys below.

They do look nice. I would have to put them on the car with the writing all at the same angle, the same with the badges... doh. Good luck with that. 

[fendervg 29]

Yum yum - they look great. Very special!

[Keyo 47]

Thanks lads they have come out well. 

[lilfuzzer 1]

Nice chap

[Keyo 47]

Very happy with the way the alloys look can see why there are a few folks on here who highly rate them- just perfect for a Rado- you could get huge callipers under these alloys

That was probably the idea for the racing cars! I think they came as part of a kit including Brembo 4-pots and bigger discs, ready to be fitted on to the car. I found a site with the Vento Cup specification kit-out, must see if I can find it again....
