Just taken them to the Powder Coaters today will pick them up Wednesday will take so long because they can't acid dip them due to the nature of Magnesium.
Soon as they are back i'll get some more photos up of them all.
I have had them done in Hyper White BTW

These are perfect for an Escort Cossie as they came from the WRC Escort before they started using Compomotive for they alloys.
They are Grp A fitment thou so you will either need to replace your studs with longer items about a £1 each or use Grp A Wheel Nut adapters which you can get from A1 Rally, other than that they just bolt straight on.
Since you are only in Sutton Coldfield you can pop down to mine and try them on as I have a set of Wheel nut adapters but they are aren't for sale as I use them on my MO's

Do you know whether these will fit over 6pot AP racing calipers with 376mm discs on an EsCos? How much do these weigh?

Thanks

Not a 100% but they have a big clearance, your quite welcome to come and try them if you like. Not sure how much they weigh but they are loads lighter than my 17" MO's

Just so you know GRP-A fitment was for Rally/track Escort's that had wide track and coilovers. ET30 or ET33 which is the proper GRP-A fitment will require longer 63mm studs, GRP-A nuts and 15mm spacers to clear the suspension cups on the front... unless you have coilovers but ET30 will look odd on the EscCos as the arches are so wide and will need spacing out to fill the arch.

They will piss 380mm discs and should weight between 6-9kgs each if they are mag.

Hope this helps the sale 'kin love these wheels

Grp A fitment means you will either need to replace your studs with longer ones about a £1 each or use Grp A Wheel Nut adapters which you can get from A1 Rally.
With 215/35/18 they are not going to rub anymore than 8 x 17 on 215/40/17

I tried them on the rears go on just but you have no chance with 255 on the front. Only got the back pair on so never drove them with them on.
