they would fit fine using a 195 50 tyre which is stock on RST alloys, but I do agree that would look bad as they only suit cars of that era

Have to agree with the others S2 rims are a hard wheel to put on anything other than a mk4 escort tbh . They will totally ruin the look of the ZS , whereas a set of Escos rims will look spot on

Thanks for the replies fellas !
Im not sure, the red one i saw looked pretty good.... im not into doing what everyone else done or is doing.... i want to be a bit different lol..
Escos wheels are like Ł400-Ł500 .. havnt got that sort of money atm ... WOuld love a set though, dont get me wrong!!!
Hence the s2 rims idea......
Was thinking of painting them in a gunmetal grey colour too....
Im sure i saw a pic on google of one too.... ill go have a butchers for it now...

You dont have to get Escos rims theres plenty of other wheels out there to choose from that look good . At the end of the day you fit what you want its your car

Oh i know that mate, i think it would look rather good in gunmetal with a blue zs... Nobody here seems to like me idea
haha...... i just thought id see if anyone had pics of one already been done before...
You're right though, there is a lot to choose from, never been a fan of the gti style alloys, s1's wouldnt look right at all.... xr2/xr3i are out the question lol.. im just thinking of Ford wheels off escorts + fiestas that might look nice, i like being different lol..

was cheaper painting them black than a refurb lol and they hide brake dust!
anyway i'd be more concerned that the wheels are wrapped in decent rubber than what they look like

Looks nasty, almost like somebodies just thrown a set of cheap wheels on from EBay for the sakes of it.
Mondeo 16's would give the Escort Cos looks without the cost and headaches of the offset being miles out

Makes no odds what they're off. And your childish shot is wasted as I couldn't care less and the car now sits on Compomotives.

I do kind of agree,,,, the wheels make it look a bit older than it actually is..
I do like the idea of a blue one with grey wheels.. might look at other wheels tho tbh
