Your car looks stunning pal, why did you change the wheels?? What size tyres on the 17's?

BigErn

Diamond cuts for me too

here is a couple of pics of mine.

if it was me id get rid of both i have to say rs,7s look far to show and shine and escort wheels look nasty i like rl7,s / th2,2 / flat face comps / 5 spoke comps / rodell 122 / and the escort monte style comps

The Crocodile Hunter

Even tho i have a set i agree the rs7's are a bit show and shine, very easy to kerb if your not extra careful and you cant put big brakes behind them.

They do look good though!

I've been thinking about some comps for a while now, but i also fancy just putting standard rims back on????

Thanks mate, changed as the RS7s were on the car for 7 years, so wanted a change and moved to 18s
Tyres on the 17s were 215/40/17, no scrubbing either
Always liked the RS7s as a cracking wheel

My old white one was on RS7's

RS7s all the way unless you want bigger brakes

Mine on RS7s



then changed to a set of hocks as the RS7s were like a 50 pence piece

Best wheels are down to your choice, personaly i prefer something motorsport inspired.
As long as they are 8" WIDE all round and the correct offset to fill the arches.
Different is good, here are the 2 sets of wheels i have.

ULTRALITES 8x17



BRAID WINRACE A wheels 8x16

Out of the two i would prefer the RS 7s but its Lattice or sharktooths for me all day long but of course limited with brakes

jay

i think they look good on both mate but as i have already had rs7's i would go for escort cossie wheels

Had both, rs7 win for me, unless you need the money, then the escos wheel is another excellent choice

Thanks for all your feedback...... I thought i was decided on rs 7's, but after this post i now dont have any idea!!! I have spent a fortune on my 4x4 and should be running 400 bhp after running in. I do want bigger brakes so therefore this will dictate which wheels i will go for!!! I am thinking the ultralite 8x17's in grey on my white sapphire, anyone got em on a white sapphire?
