Default Best wheels to have on an escos? with pics

Out of interest..... what do you think are the best wheels to have on an escos? - Please supply your evidence!

This will help out Vodoo1 - who was looking at an ugly set of wheels (see his post) and me cause I am still undecided what to get sometime this year. (Will probably be new style silver MO's )



Paul R - Give you a chance to post some more pics!

Think its about 40 to 50 quid a wheel to get them done properly with tyre off and rebalanced. means less cleaning

I must admit I am not a fan of black.... though each to their own - some of my mates swear black is the best choice!

I don't know what to get - but one thing is for sure those silver RL7's are awesome RS_Cosworth330 If only you could still buy them!

Yeah I know Simon it's bloody annoying isn't it?! Before I properly looked into it I'd made my mind up that they were the rims I was gonna have, only to find out that they're not available anymore

I'm really really picky when it comes to that car.
