Since the first pic i've fitted the Holden centre cap, now you can't see the Moser Engineering sticker :(

Don't no an exact model but any wreckers should know them. Our local Val/Euro wreckers have them booked for one guy. Every set they get goes to the guy it got mine form. He races Cortinas in the Speedway.

I was just looking at my mums Laser (2000 or 2002 model) and was wondering if those rims would fit on the TC? Is it only the distance between the holes that matters?

I need something bigger than the 13 or 14's that are on it! and i reckon a nice set of 5 spokes would suit it to a tea.

Yeah 5 spokers and tc's go hand in hand. Theres no other option for me, well besides the k-mart hubcaps I have at the moment, of course.

You also have to make sure the offset is correct. And also the overrall tyre diameter change (if there is any) this is important because if its different your speedo will be out.

These came off my TE Corty !!! PCD 4x108. Dodgy dude in Townsville used old Sigma 4x110 and grinded the inside bolt holes. Works for Speedway !!!

There are some models of SAAB rims that don't fit. Had a set of interceters from a SAAB given to me & they did not fit. Yes most will fit but make sure to try before purchasing.

How do you check the offset? Is that just how much the wheel sticks out of the guard? What offset do i need? and can it be changed if its different?

I was looking at K-Mart hubcaps last night, but they only had 5 stud ones
