as you are probably aware ive just got an rs500.its black and im looking to change the wheels.i had 18" comp mo's on my last 3 door but they were a pain.quite like the bbs x-spoke design.

16 inch bbs or the original 3dr/500 alloys

the latter wont be any good with bigger breaks though jay pal

at the end of the day it down to personal choice

the thing is you will have a job to find a good set of BBS split rims, or even a good set of Hockenhiem R's, as for nutters wheels, nice, try asking where from tho, and you will meet a dead end with them TS

bbs wheels are available every now and then.

i have a set of six 17"x9 bbs split rim race wheels which i may sell made originaly for the rs200, but as there four stud and not centre lock like my otehr ones they will bolt straight up to a ford sierra ect,

will need a repaint for the centre and polish but would be stunning on a rs500,

I have never seen them on a cossy so i guess you cant get them but BBS LM's would be the ultimate wheel on an rs500 or any other cos for that matter.

BBS Le Mans are my favorite wheels period

Would look awsome on an Escort Cosworth.
Reckon the Compomotive CXN's would suit the 80's RS500 better tho
