Default What wheels?

I know there is a lot of talk about wheels at the moment but im undesided on what to get i do need a new set of wheels and do plan on getting a set befor the car is back on the road as the tyres that are on it are bald and im not paying out for a new set of 17 only to get rid of tm

Anyway what i want to know is what are the option for wheels of the shelf without using spacers

I quickly learnt that as the escos has a uncommon offset you cant have just any set of wheels you see

so does anyone have a list of whats avalible, obviously compomotives, Rondels, OZ Super T and Superlegg

Pics would be great allways like to have a look

cheers

Just remember that some of those you listed there are not made anymore, such as Superturismo and Superleggera... Might be able to find some secondhand though if youre lucky.

I've bought some ATS Wolf wheels 18" ET 15 8J

Quite rare!

Some pic's (not from my car), I've still got the original wheels on it...







I have to make some decent pic's when the weather is good, and i've fitted the wheels

I've got them VERY cheap! normally they go for about 1500-2000 euro's (1000-1300 pound) with good tyres.

I've paid 660 pound

JP Cars in Holland has got 2 set's left (8J and 9J) www.cosworth.nl He can ship them to.
