Hey all, got a red 90 spec series 2 what wheels do you think willl look better 7 spoke diamond cuts or compomotive mo's in white, if any one has any pics could they please send

 

Can't go wrong with 17" diamond cut RS7's. They just work so well

 

i'd say rs7's do look better but every bloke and his dog has em at the moment...

go for comp mo's IMO...

 

i can really picture the Mo's on it myself,

but i do like soft spoke rs7s on s2's

 

any excuse to post a pic, 7 spokes suit the car so well and fit straight on!!

 

That does look very, very nice indeed mate, if you can get it like that then you can't go far wrong!

BTW, which Mo's are you thinking of, the classic 5 spoke of the new 17'' 6 spoke?

 

7's or mo's in black

 

They just work

 

The classic 5 spokes mate in 17's

No copying though - this is the onlt RST i have seen with these

 

rs7s mate all the way

 

get some nice focus rs rims on there i think they wud look smart!

 

diamond cut rs7's i would say, but im biased

 

Focus RS rims are 18's. Far too big. 17's are too much really imo

 

17" Dare V1

rs 7's allllllday! lol

 

How about Cossies? They're 1" smaller, but 1" wider! Look great on a red 90-spec Escort MK4

 

the 17 in dare wheels in anthricite luk the nuts!!!!

 

Series 2 on Cossie Rims always work very well as shown, agreed there an inch smaller and an inch wider, perfect for handling really IMO!

 

Id have to say the soft faced ones over diamond cuts

 

Yup, defo!

 

Absolute pants! They look good there's no denying that but the offset is miles out! I know far too many people that have gone through the grief to fit them to Escorts and Fiesta's only to change them again as it bollocks'd up the car.

 

Well obviously they aint spent enough time on it then, a mate had Escos rims on his car 3 years ago, was spot on for handling, and yeah they looked great!

 

It amases me everytime I hear people telling me their Escorts handle great with these wheels on. Change them for something/anything else and there will be an improvement. Like so many people you seem to be confusing cornering with handling.

I have tried them on Escorts and Fiesta's they are shite!!!!

Spent ages getting them on a mates Fiesta and they were on E-Bay three days later.

 

22" Dare V1

 

Thing is mate when I mean we spent ages on them, we spent absolutely ages on them, it was months before we got it right not just days!

Don't get me wrong it wasn't without hassle, the amount of tyres he shredded whilst we we're trying them out (unfortunately we could go for a quick run with them on as it was his only car) was unbelievable, but it can be done, thats all i'm saying, and when they were right it was sorted

..and no, i'm not confusing cornering with handling here mate

They may not be perfect but they were pretty good, but nuff said cos i'm hijacking the kids post here!

 

I know what you mean about ages. We were at it for a whole weekend on the Fiesta, measuring, trimming etc.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one chap

 

Guess so mate, not sure I agree with what your saying about agreeing to disagree, i'm saying anything can be done on a budget, but then my mate spent 16k on an 1100cc Fiesta! (it was a 1600cvh EFI before he sold it), not saying i'm right mind you, but that was far too much!!! )

Whether it be 16's or 17's i'm not sure an Escort or Fiesta 'handles' better either way on either, don't get me wrong. if someone else said the same about Escos rims on FRST or ERST I wouldn't do it again!

In a roundabout way I know what you mean, and agree to a certain extent with you! lol

 

????????????
????????
black rims look hard on a red s2

 

JayRS2000 They don't look bad at all mate for black rims!

 

'RS JAY' Much appreciated for the part number mate!
