Old skool Hocks look wicked... Could try them on my Orion!?

If not the Azev A's are the winner - we can't all get the datapost split rims, it would be nice though!

Imo what ever you get they have to either be old school or Ford diamond cuts/soft spokes or comps. If they dont fit in any of those catagories they wont look right.

I agree m8 standard all the way.
Although there is only one other set of alloys i would put on a series 1 and thats the shark tooth alloys of a sierra cosworth.
