would the offset not be too high?- I though Foci's had an offset of circa 40?

there used to be some pics of a imperial blue one ( a left hooker) that had them on, looked ok, but did need rather large spacers IIRC

Thnx for all the reply's

Don't think I'll buy some FRS wheels, I rather don't use spacers

Does anyone know some unique wheels for an EsCos.

Everyone got Rondell, or Wolf, Super T's , Compomotive etc.

I want something special

Compo TH2 look nice on an EsCos (I know they're Compomotive, but not MO's )

I would love a set of 18" OZ mags

As for the "superior" focus wheels they look all wrong on the escos imo.

when I first fitted them I liked them but I've changed them now, I had to change them from std wheels cos of the big brakes and got the wheels fucking cheap. I had 2 sets at one point I was getting them that cheap.

IMO they looked okay but I didn't like the spacers that i had to fit to get them to the right offset.

Now I got some 9/18 team dynamic wheels on it at the moment again cos I get them cheap not too sure if i like them either but will change them to another set that I've got my eye on when they come up that I do like

and no they aren't comps of any kind

Cheers
Daniel
