Be mad to swap for them for escos wheels, IMO they dont suit saphs.

your saff looks stunning, i cant beleive how mint it is
resto thread anywhere for it?
escos wheels suit them perfectly imo, not sure how silver would look on your white car though
unless they were darker but dont know about that either

Escort Cosworth wheels also cause the tyres to catch on the front arches which is why I ditched mine after only 10 miles

Personally i'd leave it as it is mate, but heres a couple of pics for you.
PS- If you fit 215/40's, they clear the arches no probs. No need to go down to 205's.
