Ive havent took much notice of hoe much they go for if im honest. I dont hate comps but you go to a ford show and you can guarantee you will see a ford with them on.

That is what i like about the 5 spoke OZ racing wheels on mine, never seen another Sapphire Cosworth with the same wheels. I was told they did not make them for a Sapphire Cosworth fit normally but were a special order. I managed to get them from South Coast Wheels when they still had a shop in Southampton as the bloke never came back to pick them up.

they do look nice glenn, but they only suit some colour of car, same with comps, i've got 6 spokes on mine and they took a little getting used to but now i wouldn't be without them 
wheel colour and car colour need to either compliment each other or be so lairy that you can get away with them NOT complimenting each other, and seeing as you've got to get the rim choice spot on for some cars it's doubly difficult
just imagine you have a 3 door

Sounds interesting cossienut.
Ivw only seen a handful off saff cossies with the focus rs wheels on. When I was at central day last year I didnt see 1 saff with the focus rs wheels on apart from mine.

Bit of an update but no pics.
I took my saff to work last weekend. I did the following.
1 removed the rear bumper and heated the bumper adjusters up to free them off.
2 took the rear diff casing off and changed the oil.
3 painted the suspension and the brakes black.
4 found a small crack in the nsr chassis leg so I dropped the nsr suspension down so my mate could weld a plate in.
5 I undersealed the floor and chassis legs.
6 welded the exhaust bracket back on the resr beam due to being loose.

Ive still got my bass box to wire in then fit my focus rs wheels then it will be about done.
I went out in it today to put some fuel in it and I drove the long way back home and I really enjoyed it. I just got an annoying squeak/rattle when im putting my foot down.
Im gonna use it to go to work in for 2 days cause I will be on holiday from the Wednesday.

Yeh im nearly at the end of the tunnel.
I just cant figure out what this noise is. Its only doing it when im putting my foot down but if I dip the clutch and rev the engine there is no noise.

I fitted my Focus RS wheels today. I love these wheels on my saff. They arnt to everyones taste but ey it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.
the car looks a bit high. I was gonna go on road test but ran out of time today.
