Exclamation Rarest of all RS7s

Flat faced RS7s but in 16 inch form are simply rocking horse s**t to find, just spotted this mint refurbished set ending in under a hour's time

I have seen many types of ford rims come and go out of fashion but the RS7 in 17 inch form are most common, 16s were mega rare and are worth the same money, so these are a total bargain

12 mins to go and only Ł180

I often come across 15s and 17s but 16s are the daddy's especially for fiesta and escorts owners, as 17s handle like crap on them even though they look great and I have evn come across some 14s

I've got a set of 16's - some fucking little arsehole tosspot on here with multiple usernames sold them to me while back and they're as bent as Elton John.

Been told they're too far gone to repair, so most expensive paperweight I've ever bought.

ive had loads of sets usualy at around the50 quid mark, 16's were everywhere as they were mondy optional and loads of mk1's had them but being pricey on the tyres i expect many for scrapped, i had 7j's (or maybe 6.5j but 205 tyres) on a mk3 cabrio and it was terrible to drive, bit of rain and it was sideways at roundabouts and tiny speeds

Not really, its just my own opinion from experience.

Buying wheels is a minefield. I'd never buy alloys unless theyve been tested or some kind of return policy especially on soft alloys which are prone to bending.

on alloy testing I agree as rs7s are prone to become square

Default Rarest RS 7's

I think the rarest one is my 5 x 112.

I bought it on a whim from e-bay, one only.

I have Granada 24v everything in my Saff, so thought if I could get another three!!

Checked with my local Ford place - 63 in stock in Germany. Nice one.

Ordered 3 - i'm not greedy.

Went back to see when they might arrive and they had all disappeared.

Very mysterious.

Oh well.
