I saw one person in the old forums that had Team Dynamics Monza wheels, though he said they were replaced with ST200s after a few encounters with Michigan potholes. I just picked up a set of 17x7s in Glittering Silver for a smoking deal (imo).

(they have center caps too)

Made in England so maybe some of the Mondeo fellas have had experience with them? :cool:
 
A bit of background on your wheels, Team Dynamics are one of the brand names of Rimstock,the other main brand they use for their cheaper end is 100+. They are a long established company, dating back to the 1960's, based in West Bromwich a town on the edge of Birmingham. They provide wheels for the British Touring Car Championship and their marketing director Matt Neil was back to back drivers champion in the series in 2005 and 2006. The wheels that you have are a well established design by them dating back to the '90's and has been widely used on modified Fords in the UK, though they have now gone somewhat out of fashion over here.

Thanks btcc93 for the background info. Do you know of anyone over there using these wheels? I'm going to check around to see if I can dig up any pictures :cool:

Edit: found this picture of the wheels with the center caps, still looking for some mounted on a car.

And on a Euro Escort :drool:

I'll check through my photo collection, the problem is a lot of the stuff I took when these wheels were really popular was on 35mm. I'll check my digital files tho only a 1,000 or so of them on Mondies, try the photo section on FMOC as well.

That would be sweet thanks! I did manage to find an escort but that's about all I came up with.

I also did a PS yesterday of some similar wheels I had found on to my car:

I wish I lived in the UK and had a chance to purchase a Mondeo :drool:

This is further motivating me to get my a$$ in gear and finish developing my own projector style headlights...

I need to get my boss to send me over to our facility in Peterborough, UK for work... maybe I'll come back with one of them :D

I got a set from my friend when he got rid of his SVT back in 2002. He had these on his 98 SVT, they're 18x8's with a 40mm offset. I got them for just being a good friend :). These pics are also placed in the T-red post. I had them refinished from the original silver to anthracite almost 4 years ago, the wheels themselves were purchased back in 99. This made me second for these wheels, he was the only guy around that had them back in the '90's.

I have a set of 18x8 DTM's as well...although I don't have a current picture. I also purchased those in 1998.

As one pointed out, Team Dynamics is a very reputable company, I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Neal back in 2005 at SEMA. I also have met the president of TD USA on several occassions, also a very nice guy. I watched BTCC back in the 90's in it's "hey-day" when at least 7-9 manufacturers would field 2 car teams. TD was a "privateer" effort then, and Matt Neal even won a race outright in his TD sponsored Nissan Primera, against the factory cars (including Nissan's own team cars).

Well I guess that makes me more like 4th or 5th :laugh: I found a few other people mentioning them through more searches but no good pictures. I've seen those pictures of your car before :drool: Thanks for the pics.

Don't worry, I'm a huge 5 spoke fan too. The FSVTs won't be going anywhere. One set will be the weekend/traction combo and one will be the road trip combo :laugh:
