Default compomotie mo1675 or escort cosworth wheels

I've currently got escort cosworth wheels on my car but like the look of the compomotive mo1675 wheels. I'm unsure whether to keep my escort wheels or get some compomotive's. what do you guys think?

The flat comp mo's I think look the best, those pictures are the 1783s I think 17x8j, anyone got any ideas how easy and unproblematic that size fit?

i guess looks wise the 16s would prob pull it off just the same looking at the cossies and would save you a few hundred quid. how much have you managed to lower it on 16x8 without any problems?

i think the picture of the cossies lowered 30 look plenty big enough, so seeing the comps design go right to the outer rim i cant see why 16s wouldnt fit the bill

Have you considered 16x7?

I've gone from 17x8 to 16x7 and the way the car drives is much better. I've driven one with cossie wheels and it was pretty awful in comparison.

As for Twins I actually prefer the 5 spokes! Although I think I'm the only one

I prefer the MO5 alloys too, I got them on my RS but really want to go back to standard alloys.... Yet i haven't even done any miles on the tyres and i re-painted the alloys due to age!

Cant decide MO5 which ive wanted for along time or standard alloys with 5mm spacers to clear the calipers.
