Vodoo - I would say that there are much nicer wheels available than those and they would probably shatter into a thousand bits if you hit a curb! - I will put up a post for the best wheels to have on an escos with pics - for you to get some ideas!

I'm with simon on this there are much better wheels than that for your car. they scream out saxo vtr style! not sure they'd suit the cossie shape.

each to their own though

IMO they look very cheap

Escos look best with motorsport wheels or old school wheels from back the day

- Vodoo1 do you really want to risk crashing your car for a cheap set of shit looking wheels that will cheapen the look of your car. I can't see greenlight using your car for their 2006 advertising campaign with those wheels.

They may be cheap on ebay - but one has a chunk out of it anyway.

Look at the other thread on wheels for some ideas.......
