I like it. I think we can get pretty close with some alloy wheels and spacers, I assume there is a massive sound system (as there should be) in the back?

I suppose for appearance check purposes it should be possible to cut a couple of cardboard or plywood and paint them silver - just to see how alloys might look?

My son has bought, tried, and then sold again, at least three sets of alloys just to see how they looked on his Capri. He has also tried different tire profiles (he works for a tyre dealership, so it's fairly easy for him!)

He is still not happy but actually getting it going is now taking priority over appearance!
The devil is in the detail!

Since it is a Capri I would suggest using extra tyres at the side ( like a boat ) to get the car around corners in the wet.

Re cut outs to see how your car looks....many wheel shops have the ability to photo your car then superimpose their wheel selection onto your car.
My son used free software paint.net. He prefers Adobe photo shop.
Has any one put mags onto a Javelin using Jowett studd pattern?
Does a Javelin share it's studd pattern with any other car?
Good memories of Bradfords.

Those low profiles dont go with the body style, needs about a 1 1/2 " roof and 1"body chop

And here is a Bradford

And some of you may reconise this one

As far as we know the Jowett stud pattern is unique. Great is it not?! :(
