Default Escos wheels on my Orion

Been offered a deal on some Escos wheels for SEV... Dunno what to do, so I need peoples opinions...

How it is now...



With the Escos wheels tried on... Would need rear arches trimming slightly

i love escos rims mate.but 4 some reason yours looks better on the other ones.
if u had 90 spec painted bumper it would suit the cossie rims but as it is it looks better with the others mate. just my opinion tho!!

The cossie rims look too big and bulky, hence looking abit out of place, for me anyhow.

The cossie rims look silly imo, stick out too much! Will probably handle like a bag of shite too.

Stick with the original ones!

I always wanted some Escos rims for mine, and get rid of the mondy's, but also heard it makes the car handle shit!

After seeing the photo's, I would definitely say our Onions suit the Mondy rims a whole lot better!

How much is your car lowered btw?
