arent they 8" wide? same width as std escos wheels, and they look good on an S2 so dont see why the monte ones would "look shit"???

im with T28 I think the Escos rims look pretty nasty imho, the Mondeo rims which look similar are much nicer on a S2.

Can't say im much a fan on the monte wheels no matter what car they are on

granted they do look better on a S1 but only if its a black one. montes look really good on that blue S2 above. thing is it's gonna be down to personal preference again.
