Hello... I have 16" Escort Cossie alloys on my cab at the mo but im thinking about changing them for 17" RS Softspokes. I cant make my mind up though... the Cossie alloys look well fat and with 195's stretched on they do look mint, but they wonder all over the road and its kinda annoying. What would guys you do keep'em or swap'em???

 

Hard decision that ! For me the cossie rims edge it.

 

i know wot you mean about the feel on the road,but there not that bad, personally i prefer the coz rims any day just for the look. they just look so good on any ford..

 

if you decide to steer away from the cossie rims then give me a shout as ill take em off your hands, quick snap!

 

i like the escos rims got them on my escort mk6 and they do look phat never been a fan of the softspokes always looked a bit too nice if ya know what mean how can i describe it
erm a bit gay

 

how much did you pay for your rims hitch west?

 

i paid £500 notes for mine with brand new tyres and they had just been painted bought them off a mate and i new which escos they were off so i new they werent bent in any way had to get the rear arches rolled to stop the catching only thing i would say is that tyres on it are crap and whenthey ware outgoing to get something different like bf goodrich they have always been good tyres imo

 

there is aset on ebay at the moment too mate

 

hmmm interesting, got any pics of yours?

 

for the kind of money they are going for a brand new set of rota slips could be on the cards? Is it me or do escos alloys look remarkably similar to the 16" mondeo items?

 

will give her a wash tomoz mate and stick some pics up but probably not in this room as i might get shot the mondeo wheels are simular but dont have the dish that the escos has
the escos wheels seem to look awesome on anything as long as its not a cossie

 

lmao how ironic! Yer mines having a wash tomoz too! Got rs turbo items on mine, diamond cut, they look really nice but i want bigger brakes!

 

The escos wheels cant really take bigger brakes.

 

Keep the cossie rims on they look better.

 

i got softlines on mine and love them but would love cos rims they both look awsome

 

Oooohhh....toughie ! I could go for either, but I think I'd plum for the soft spokes.

 

Those RS softwhatsits look the puffins pilchards on a saph , im wanting a set soon.

 

put some pics of the escort with the escos rims in the pics and vids room mate
its titled our daily drivers

 

Softspokes for me, dont like the way the escos wheels sit on a rs turbo.

 

i'm for softspokes escos always look to wide for my liking i suppose if they were machined to make the offset more friendly then maybe
