I used to like the polished 7 spokes, still do. But very common.


My choice was the Azev's

Just to add that i would never use a 17in wheels on any Mk3/Mk4 escort.

Max is 16in 7.5j maybe 8j on the rear if you have done mods to suit.

They look like 17in above?

I wouldnt run 17in. 16in as a max. This is the reason you will have problems with the arches and height of the car.



On the XR3 i run 215/45/16 on 8J rims. No problems and great handling.

Jano

You're just teasing us now....

andy: so many choices...so little money to buy one set of each
Keep what you've got mate. They look spot on, are almost brand new, and so what if a few other cars have got them. Shows how good they suit the S1

Those wheels look awesome gus.

Does anyone know if you can get momo arrows in ford fitment? Would have thought they'd look nice in silver.
