Hey im thinking about getting a set of "cossie wheels" for my ERST (not the original cossie wheels).. But what is the approx price on a used set of those??


Im talkin about wheels like these:

 

Ive seen them on ebay for around £350

 

really???

 

you can still get them brand new from Ford for about £450

 

damn thats cheap.. do they have a name and model?? or are they just called cossie wheels???

 

ford escort cosworth five spokes,they do look good on an rs turbs tho,mind you on any car for that matter!

 

Just be a problem if you want to lower the car or want it to handle right. Look great but catch like mad and arse the car up as most people that have had them will testify.

Shame as the look really good Can always get the Mondeo 5 spoke as it looks very similar but doesn't have the pain in the bum offset

 

cant you opt for a lower profile on your rear tyres to the front to counter this?

 

i heard that it was only on the original 17" cosworth wheels you would have a problem on a mk4!? how much can i lower the car with those wheels on it?? (the unoriginal wheels that is)

 

i put some on mine was lowered 40mm arches totally cut out with small tyres still catched when cornering looked good handled shite here a pic

 

can you please show me a pic of the Mondeo 5 spoke you're talkin about???

 

what alloys??

Escort Cosworth only came with 16in wheels

I have some on an ERST and they WILL be for sale, no arch rubbing AT ALL but have skiny tyres to battle that

Will grab some pics for you and post later

 

Here's my bro's FRST on 16" Mondeo rims at Fiesta In The Park.



As you can see they look similar but won't balls up the way the car drives as they have a far easier to deal with ET35 or ET40 offset.
