I'd say Mo's personally as they look good. Who cares if that's what everyone has. There's a reason for it! I reckon they'd look bling in gold

PS. 235s will fit fine on the back, as long as you avoid Herman Munster tyres (ones with square shoulders , such as Yokohama AVS).

You could have 7½" x 17" on front and 8" x 17" on rear with 215 and 235 tyres respectively. However, that would negate the ability to "rotate" the wheels (and I KNOW what a cheap-skate you are ) to even up tyre wear. So you could just get 7½ width with 215s all round....

Prices are on my website .

I would recommend sticking to a readily available wheel .

How about some 3-spokes?




























Think you should get some classy wheels as the car is too nice for the rally wheel look.

phil ive seen rhys's car,,,, mate that is FAR from standard ride height


25's are ginna be a problem tbh though,,,,,,, also the 6 pots aint the smallest calipers available either


oh and 253 tyres and that stereo WILL require arch rolling mate if you ever decide to actually use the car before you sell it on in bits ( so you may not need to bother tbh

but they are THE most common wheel ona saph cossie,,,,,,,,,, christ its anoying gojng to shows ect and seeing 15 saphs all with the same wheels/trim ect

its like nobody with a cosworth has the ability to look different,,,,,, be individual and buy ANOTHER set of wheels


rhy's car is a little different and hes car was always noticed for that,,,,,,,,, if he just fitted a leather trim and MO's then who the fuck would even know who rhys is ( unless they talk about politics, christ hes a smart chappy )
