Hi guys, just got a little question for you.

Today I have had a set of 15" Escort RS7's come through my door, and while looking at them I notices that two of them have no stamping a on the front face of the wheel and two have Ford Motorsport on the front face.

I have been told by two people ( both own escorts ) that the ones with nothing on are Series One wheels and the ones with Ford Motorsport are RS1600i wheels. But I've seen S1's with the other wheels on.


I think the plain ones could be RS option wheels and the others are S1 or RSI wheels.

Can somebody shed some light on this?

Thanks a lot guys!

If you put the 16i wheels on the back it will make your car faster.

Or if you put them on the n/s it will go round roundabouts quicker 😂

Your letterbox must be HUGEEEEE

wrong way round, you need them on the offside to take roundabouts flat out in 5th

Got all excited when i read the title, thought they would be 15" diamond cuts

16" diamond cuts are the real hard ones to get

rs16i wheels only have writing on one spoke,

s1 wheels have writing on all three

if there is no markings at all on them, then they have been refurbed and the lettering either polished off or a heavy powder coating

What's weird is that on the ones that's flat on the five is that the offset is sticking out on the inside of the wheel, but on the ones that's got the writing on the offset is on the front if the wheel.
