Default wheel choice for sapphire

Looking into some new wheels I don't wanna go the same route as everyone else no offence. I know lenso bsk's look awsome on sierra but any views on a saffy?

I reckon they would look good. If they would fit mine I'd have them.

defo not Comp MO's - be different.

I reckon the Calibra split look wheels will look good - i would have them on mine if they cleared my brakes. Saying that i would keep my RS7's on if they would clear my brakes.

I Bought these Inovit ST in 17" 2 years ago... Unfortunatly they were out of stock and got a refund. Managed to buy 8 BSA 215 in 17" for the same price.

But they sure looked the bollocks

Inovit ST Bronze




BSA 215

Hocks look really cool on Saffs! Or, Ford (softline?) 7 spokes, not the diamond cut ones....

You should be able to get TH2's from Reyland. I got 2 off him last year after I fitted my AP's.

everyone saying mo's are too common on a saff... no where near as common as rs7 spokes . i think the std wheels look better than the 7spoke things.

Wheels are so personal, most on this page dont suit the Saff to my eyes.
For me Dymags to look hard & Rondells to look sweet. However i use Speedline Corsa because they are light & take big brakes, more important that good looks in my application.

imo the TH2 does not suit the saph, i dont even like them on martoons 3dr.

but they do look good on the escort.

and comp MO's have been done to death, nice wheel but rather common now

all imo of course....

but as rod said, its all about personal chioce so do what YOU want, not some internet nerds lol

I only like rondells comps rl7,s and th2,s Saffs are a hard car to put wheels on you see some horrid looking ones due to wheel choice! I've never been a fan of things like rs 7 spokes or escort wheels iver they just don't look right to me
