Default Best wheels for a Saph?

The new 8x18 Comp wheel:


Old Skool 17'' TSW Hocks:


17'' Rondells (these will be messed with abit )


Or just a plain Escort Cos wheel (we all know what they look like!

I'm totally undecided so wants your opinions please, not sure whether to go 17 or 18 or what at the mo!

Cheers

You've already answered my question! Too common fella!

stonehavencossie Had Masitily's on one of my cars before mate and IMO they are too flat faced for a Saph

Keep the input coming guys!

Radders, are those wheels curbed to fuck or is it just the pic resizing making them look odd?

Will be good to see the new Comp wheels on a car to see what they look like, but im sure Porkie will have a set within a few weeks to add to the rest of his wheel colection.

Doh! You ask Lee what his paintwork was like mate, in his own admission when he got the car it looked like it had been polished with wire wool!

It's not had a respray, he's just spent so much time making it right it's unreal!

I'm being swayed towards the new Comp's I think now but I don't really want 18's! Which then put's me back towards the Rondells!
