).These are perfect for an Escort Cossie as they came from the WRC Escort before they started using Compomotive for they alloys.
They are Grp A fitment thou so you will either need to replace your studs with longer items about a £1 each or use Grp A Wheel Nut adapters which you can get from A1 Rally, other than that they just bolt straight on.
Since you are only in Sutton Coldfield you can pop down to mine and try them on as I have a set of Wheel nut adapters but they are aren't for sale as I use them on my MO's

).All the prices for wheels are on my website. I don't do tyres other than the track day ones, as I could never compete with the prices that the whole-salers (such as www.mytyres.co.uk ) do them for

I am getting slight rubbing justnow on my drivers side inner arch liner, but have just fitted them and not had a chance yet to adjust my coilovers yet from the settings i had for my 19's. Going to be adjusting them this week so will let you know how it goes. Neil[/b]
