I ve seen 16inch vesions of the rs 7spoke wheels! That way it will still look the mutts nuts and will handle alot better than if you had the 17's! and less agro to fit!
and id rather not start cuttin a mint fiesta rs turbo about!

Having had Esc Cos rims on my Fiesta before I'd say don't bother!

If you like to have the car steer for you on bumpy roads (i.e. all the roads within the UK) and like the noise of rubber making contact with bodykit and bodywork when going fast around corners then go for it!

195 tyres are too dangerous in my opinion unless you drive like a milk float.


my escos rims are on the way, followed by the tyres. but gotta send my old wheels to the new owner tomorrow so car will be on stands for a while

please can every1 who has or is thinking of putting escos rims on their fiesta not do it,i want to be the only one

that red fez at pod did look awesome and was the main reason for me wanting them.

Really tempted to go for 17's but the price on the 15's/16's is REALLY low.

Will the wheels bolt straight into my mk3 Fiesta if they are "SIZE 6J X 15 H2 ET40 .4 STUD."? Also mine is a 1.1 Fiesta i know there are differences in hubs between mine and an FRST - will this make wheel fitments more difficult?
