If you are wanting to buy this why are you telling everyone about it ?? Me think you are selling.

If it was me the fewer people who knew about it the better = less bids = winning for less money !!!!!!!!

Anyway - they arent actually that rare they are always coming up on fleabay and in my opinion they look completely wrong on the S2 - not in keeping with the 80's theme of the car at all - its a 90's looking wheel maybe Escort Cosworth etc

That was not a factory upgrade for the s2, just a general accessory for all RS cars. The correct RS option wheel was the 3 spoke like so...



IMO they are an awful wheel, I sold one for Ł10 once which was mint

I once gave one away that was brand new, as nobody even wanted it. Still had the packaging on.

If you like the wheel, fair play and I hope you win it but don't let the ebay illusionists let you think it's rare

I disagree, IMO they are rare, I've certainly seen less of them fitted to cars than 3 or 4 spoke wheels. I fit one to all my cars and think they are a fantasic wheel.

Got one on my RST and have a spare which will be going on the FakeCos.

At the end of the day its the wrong wheel for the car end of !!!

If you look into it they were probably manufactured after 1990 so never intended for the S2 at all.

Confirms my point - its a 1990's wheel for a 90's car - in my opinion its wrong on an Escort that is 80's through and through.

Stick it on a MK5 yeah but not a Mk4.

So it's only any good for an escort cosworth then as sierra cosworth's aren't really a '90's' car either are they
All down to taste imo, makes me laugh people saying how horrible they are when i bet they've bought something for their car that someone else would say was in poor taste and looked awful!
I do agree on the seller bit though.....i'd never go broadcasting something that i was hoping win on ebay for a good price!!
