Default 19" wheels for my escort

I know that this topic is a bit worn out now, but im looking for some new wheels for my escort and i want 19" this time. But its not easy to find something with 4x108. Does anyone know of some nice 19" that fits 4x108? The wheels i really want is the ones that Dunccoss has, the antrasite racing harts, but i guess they dont make them no more? At least not in 4x100, cos then i could use the converter from 4x108 to 4x100. I also wondered if i should get the hubs from a scorpio mk3, but i want to see if i can get some wheels in 4x108. The scorpio hubs are also a bit hard to come by i think, plus my economy doesnt tolerate new brakes as well at this time. But as you see, i really need them.

Maybe some of you know about some second hand wheels in 19" that someone will swap with my 18"? Plus money of course

Depends what you are willing to spend.
Have a look in my photobucket for a few ideas, then I can sort it out for you.

There are a few in there. The RH is no more, althought there are a few other RH on the horizon we could get, or i-forged, or HRE etc etc

I liked a few of them. So its impossible to get any racingharts in 4x100 or 4x108? Witch of those wheels are available in 19" then? How much did you pay for the ones you had on yours? the ones on the track picture. They are 19" arent they?

Ive ordered some 4x4 hubs from scorpio now so then its no problem to get some nice wheels. I got lucky and got all 4 for 70 pounds. But i was wondering if i should try to go up to 20"?? Have anybody in here tried that? I know its been done but would be great to see pictures of it. Im not going to the track with them of course, but i think it will look great if i can keep the car low to the ground at the same time.

Depends on width, but 8x20 for example from 20-10e on the 20"
Best option on it's way!

I think 20" looks to big on the escort. 19" will look great. But you need bigger brakes..

Not at the moment im afraid. Its still standing on jacks without rear axle and transmission. Im waiting for some parts that is being powdercoated and some other bits so i can mount the T5 box. But i think 20" will be to radical. Think 19" is big enough. Here is a picture of it with 10X19" with 275 wide tyre. Just testfitted under there.

20's would look too big and narrow looking, your better with the 19's and getting more rubber on the road

Here are the wheels i ended up with. Dunccoss` old ones. A good choice i think. He told me they were used but he could have fooled me. Absolutely stunning condition. Cant wait to get them on.

I wish I lived in a world without speed bumps or pot holes!!!

Going from 17' to 18' made a big difference, I think my back is too old for a set of 20's. Let alone my wheel arches! They'll be smoking like good un!!
