White Wheels On Red RS's!
After seeing
mattseries2 's RS with white alloys i'm really liking the idea as my car is red and has a white roof!
Would like to see more pics of white alloys on red RS's if anyone has any please?
Was thinking about these wheels for mine........

Now do I go 16's or 17's? 17's would look the bollocks, but will be like steering a tube train

good idea but i'd suggest going for team dynamics pro race 3 in white 15".
17" will kill the ride the 15's would look awesome when low.

15's would look tiny on my car, my bodykit suits bigger wheels!
But I do like them!!

Maybe the 15's with a slightly higher profile of 45 or 50 to fill the arches, its a shame the pro race don't come in 16"
When i do change the wheels on my cabby i plan to go for lenso bsx but 15" with a 40/45 profile because i like the old school and low look.
But for now my 14" 60 profile xr3i lattice wheels will do

I cant run 15's because I have 300mm brakes, so it'll have to be the 17's, was hoping to get away from them really but I've got to have those wheels now!! lol
I'll run 195/40/17's to keep the RR down as low as I can, but still a pain!

15's would be lost and aftermarket wheels would look silly that small on an Escort
16's are expensive tyre wise as not alot of people opt for 16's
17's is probally the best all round size to go for, handling shouldnt be too bad

Not a hope! lol
They wont fit under some 16's depending on what style the wheel is!

They only come in this colour for 16/7.5's if I wanted white I would have to have 16/8's, also they are a slightly flatter wheel then the Pro Race, and gloss white rather than matt which isnt to my liking.
Pro Race FTW!
