Default What's the best wheel out there for an Escort Cossie

Now there's a question. I've got Rondells on at the moment, Although my spare is an 18" Mo, which I quite like. What has everyone got, or what do you like. Pics would be nice.

I keep twitching at a set of 18" Raceline RL7's but I haven't seen enough Cossie's wearing them to fully convince me as yet! If you've got them on any of your motors people, lets av a look

My personal opinion... Raceline RL7's win hands down.

But second choice would be the old style Comp MO's.

Hi Mike

The most common RL7 in 18" for the Escort Cos is normally e.t 15

I spoke to your mate today and told him i have got a set of group A fittment in 18" ( not for sale tho) I have 1 x 18" RL7 rd version fittment but i'm not sure of the offset i will gladly sell this one to him

i will find out the offset and let him know

In every survey ever carried out, Gold wheel owners are shown to be 100% heterosexual, this is something that can't be claimed by owners of any other colour wheel - they all get the pink vote somewhere along the way except for gold wheel owners.

This is a FACT.

Everything else written in this thread is total bollocks and you risk being called a "bender" just for reading this far.


Goodnight.

I think Martins new MO's are looking good in the 9 or 10' width





18' old MO's always work, as do Rondells (but made of chocolate!)

hate the Azevs... but the 19's superleggeras look great
