this is mine

best thing about having these wheels is the way people have to read the tyre size to realise why they look so different!

As above, I very nearly bought a set but the dish isn't in proportion with the wheel and you need to fit spacers to clear AP's

if me memory serves me right the geezer making them or i should say selling them has got a well known wheel manufacturer to produce these wheels.
if you make wheels for a living then these 18" ones should not fall apart.
i wouldn't worry about this tested wheel stuff unless they come out of a shed
with no warranty.

IIRC they come with a 12 month manufactures warrenty!??

I agree that the dish isnt in proportion, hence why i didnt go for them plus the PRICE

I really liked them when they first come out and still do now, but just dont think they look right on the car for some strange reason. Most probably the proportion of the dish like you say and i think the spoke looks too thin.

Gotta give it to the guy who actually made them though.

considering the originals are 16x8 , the 18's would need to be 18x10 if not 11 to keep the dish in proportion, shame as they would look much nicer with a deep dish, and not like over-sized si wheels .

Unless somthing spectacular comes along I still think Rondell 122's are THE best wheels for an escos, end of story
