Hi there. How are you? Did you say Fox? Is that a subsidary of OZ or Compomotive? I'd really like to see these wheels.

Thank you. Rick.

i think fox is the actual make. they have them in halfords. they are a five spoke 17 inch wheel in bright silver. its hard trying to find a set that look alright on older cars. they are up for £549.00 inc fitting kit and they come with toyo 215/40/17 tyres.

215's are a bit wide for the Escort imho. A 205/40/17 is about as big as you really want to go.

Quick search on Google turned up this.




And a quick job in paint for this.




Having seen a few Fox wheels they do look a touch on the cheap side. For the cash you are looking at you can do far better

Tough choice mate. Only you know what you like. I just know that the Fox wheels do look a bit cheap in their finish and if the rest of the car is nice it seems a shame to put a set of wheels on that make the car look cheaper than it is. Bit like buying an M3 and then sticking a set of 316 steelies on it with hubcaps if you know what I mean?

Wolfrace Voodoo's are a good choice (although a 6 spoke design).
Dare V2 (split 5 spoke) www.r-tec.co.uk

Take a photo of the side of the car and do a web search and find wheels you like and paste them to your pic. Get an idea for what you like.
