Basically my current wheels (the white racelines) have been sold and i always loved the look of my car on those wheels, and im now stuck with trying to keep the look of how the car once was, in my opinion agressive and tough!!





i recently purchased a mint set of Rondells and had them painted this colour, but to be honest im now really unsure if they will suit the colour of my car.




ive even hunted around and found a pic of a malard escort cos on relatively similar coloured rondells but even so, im still unsure if it looks good or not





My next only option in my opinion is the Comp MO's.
again personally i dont think that the 8x18's really do it justice
(only pics i could find - so ignore its WRC replica)






But what about the 9x18 Comp's in white again.....?

Could this be an ideal replacement, to try and carry on the way the car once looked?
(again only a guide pic)






Honest opinions please, and sorry its a bit long and boring

 

White comps would look mint
Looked mint on the old wheels too!!


I'm not a bit fan of dark coloured wheels tbh,

 

white wheels personallly, or silver, looks very bland in darker wheels

all depends on personal taste, personally i would have probably kept the rondells silver or have white mo's

 

9x18s or the original wheels, the 8x18s look lame, as do the rondells.

people should realise its not colour or style that makes a rim, its how they sit, width and offset is king.

 

Have to say I prefer the design of the Compos but the colour of the Rondells look spot on for the car....
Proper nasty, in a good way

 

I always thought Sean`s old Escort looked really good with Rondells and no centres

 

either the 9x18 comps in white or buy some more rl7's

 

Racelines RL7s

I love them but i am biased.

I wanted them for years

 

Go for the 9" Mo's or go for something completey different.. it gets a bit boring because people always seem to stick to certain wheels for the Escos.. I know theres not many out there but other whells can look good as well as mo's, Rondells etc..

Matt

 

Sorry, Racelines are gone so thats not an option.... unless another set do come up in the future!

 

14" Pepperpots off a Orion

or them old 4 leaf clovers of the XR3s

Seriously some 9" Mos would rock (IN WHITE)

 

Sorry mate but I think you've fucked up BIG style there! Your car was the hardest looking Escos ever, loved it on Racelines!

The 9x18's above are the only wheel that even come close to looking any good, still not as good as the Raceline, also remember that Rondell's are made of chocolate and I don't think they suit your car at all mate!

Buy the Raceline's back!

 

Dan
totally agree

 

Shame they're Mag's though lads, No wheels are worth that sort of worry!

 

DAN

How about a set of them cromodora's

 

Still won't look as good as RL7's on Kelv's car though Jase!

 

think the 9x18's suit it out of them all.

the rondells will look 'nice' not 'ard'

think the old comps will be better, ok, they are common but they look good.

my old one on white comps.

 

Kelv

I do like that, looks nice, you just cant knock comps which ever ones they are

 

9x18 Comps look mega i think Kelv

Rondells are more for show i reckon

 

Have a set off old style 8 x 18 et 15 that have just been powder coated for sale if you want even have brand new toyo R888 in 235 x 40 x 18 on them

 

what about the wheels that the blue norweigan one's got? think their speedlines?

 

Looked it's best there Dave mate!

 

i fully agree with you all about the comps, they do rock.

Dan, Racelines are a no go mate, bad experiences with magnesium wheels! althought id give anything to have a set that were not weak, but i agree its probably a big fuck up in the looks department letting them go

Dave, your car looked pukka.
never really knew you then but vaguely knew your car

Jase, your only biased as you now have a set of racelines


i think it will probably be the Comp MO route, closest ill get to the looks i always wanted.

 

Proper Mag wheels Ron, and speedline won't make them unless you commit to 12 wheels IIRC (3 sets of 4)!

About 2k a set without tyres I think!

 

Splt rim Revolutions would be different and propper hard !!!

 

bargain i'll have 6 sets

kelv ; the 9" comps will look tough in white

 

Dunc, can you PM me a guide price please mate

 

Kelv, there nice, buddy, they would rock, but is 8 x 18" wide enough

 

Dan

it looked good then.

Kelv

Dave, your car looked pukka.
never really knew you then but vaguely knew your car.

you might have recognised it at Castle Combe.

 

I thought you bought Jon's Racelines Kelv???

Personally if you was gonna go for Comps, go for the 9x18's in White or Gold. Failing that a nice set of Speedlines like the Norway WRC car.

9x18's & now running with no spoiler too


Give Scotty a call, he'll have loads of wheels lying around

 

must amit, i recognised it at coombe, not a good day

 

18" OZ Mags

 

they fill the arches mate as they are et 15 the 9 x 18 are et 20 so they work out the same only difference is you can run a wider tyre on the 9 but 235 is wide enouth i think

 

Spot on then, not sure on 4x4 offsets

 

they are 4x4 offsets.

 

Dunccoss

what colour are those comps....very nice.

Gareth Lloyds Escos on revs (only pick i could find)
And wasnt one of the Severn valley Escos's on them too

 

I meant i know 2wd offsets, but unsure on the 4x4 et15s and alike, i am used to ET33, ET35 and ET37

 

What about a set of TSW Blades or venoms Kelv

 

Jasesapphy

thats ok then.
