I agree - I don't like EsCos fitment alloys on RST's.... Not too bad on S1's as they have the extra width from the arch covers, but S2's they stick out waaaaaaay too far....

I reckon if you got a red S2 and want the Monte look alloys then get a set of OZ rims (same style) but in white with the blue and red FORD MOTORSPORT logo's on em. Look like a right proper rallye slag then

If you going for a 16x7" rim then best tyre is gonna be a 195/45x16 - I had the Ford Mondeo "Cossie-style" rims on my 3i (16x7") and they are the best fit espesh if it's lowered (still needed to trim a little off the rear arch trims tho....)
