    I know selling blank wheels is illegal... But if u talk to your tyre center nicley they may be able to get some blank un-drilled wheels!

    you wont find a blank Calais wheel. too old and it will be discontinued even if it was being made.

    Get the wheels made to suit the stud pattern you have Or change the pattern on the car to suit or just find another rim with a 4 studed pattern and then have it redrilled to suit your own car. mitsubishi or ford should have 4 studers, cortinas, etc

    Have you had any thought on other wheels that are similar to the Calais wheels?
    What about a set of R31 Ti wheels? You can get them dirt cheap, polish up really nicely and would look really good on the MK1 i reckon
    Plus they are 4x114.3, and if they are flat faced on the back (which I can find out for you quite easily), they could be redrilled!

    Mate just got his all polished up the other day

    they look the biz.

    I've actually seen these on skylines befores and though that they could look alright, and they sure do all polished up!

    do you know what the size is?

    If possible do find out the flatness of the back of it, (you know hat I mean)

    and also do you think you can find out the x factor of the wheels? thats the distance between the back of the spokes and the mounting face (the flat part where the nuts go)

    To fit a mk 1 the "x factor" needs to be about 30mm or more, I believe

    Damn Lorenz, those look sharp. Plenty of old school flavour in that. Are those spokes slanted in the same direction for all four wheels?
