I did see a red s2 turbo down the ace cafe with escos rims on which did look hard but it had an s1 kit on it as they stick out a bit more,would only fit em with an s1 kit on

Go for the 16's and your car will accelerate quicker & will be lower to the ground.

Stoo

My friend runs EsCoss wheels on his S2,as Twins said they stick out a fair bit but they do look hard

EssexBoyRacer

turbo terry

esc cossie!!! looks hard as!!!

Stoo

That looks brilliant! If i were you id keep them on!

vroooom ptssssh

yea i'd go with the escos wheels

Is there anyway to machine the surface of the wheels so they sit in a bit more? but cldnt do it much as the inner rim might fowl suspension i suppose.....doh scrap that idea. lol

tonyturbo

u cant skim escossie wheels. looked into it when i had them on my s1.
they dont rub so cant complain

Turbo Reecey

Tony , i dissagree your 5 spokes suite your car big stylee, dont get me wrong the ESC wheels are nice but yours fill the arches

Stoo

True.

I dont think either choice would be be the wrong one

def esc cossie wheels m8

Tony fella, now you've posted pics up, i've changed my mind. Agree with Reecey that yours fill the arches so much better...altho I'm right on the ride height of your car. Look how high the back end looks compared to the front: check the line of the side skirt *(Could be the camera angle). Angles upwards towards the rear, not saying it's bad, just saying that the whole car would sit lower & you'd be able to get the rear bumper lower as well. In the top pic with the cossie alloys, it does appear to sit level. It does look good with the esccos wheels tho, just don't fill the arches out as much.

EssexBoyRacer

Dont forget he probably took the pics as soon as he fitted them.

Suspension will take a bit of time to settle again.

If you go esc cos rims the car does need to be low!!

Turbo Reecey

the ride height at the back should always be slightly above the front, otherwise when u accelerate you will never have traction and the arse will always be trying to over take the front on corners.

tonyturbo

i'l let you all into a secret!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the pics with the 16's their is 2 gearboxs in the boot

if i left the 16's on i'd need to lower the back more..........
only got 55mm clearance between front splitter and the ground with the 16's.

tonyturbo

The 18's are staying. i'v decided. lowering the back a bit more an it'l be fine...........

danvisteon

escort cos all day long looks phat

dave1982rst

here is my white s2 with cossie rims on

Liero

This is mine:

rs shawn

Both look good on those rims.
Dave1982..like the S1 badges on the rear.

dave1982rst

yeah i like them aswell helps if u put them on tho when the car is level and not half on the pavement hense there wonkey

tonyturbo

i dont know what to go for. changed my mind again................

dave1982rst

cossie all the way

Daviet

tony my mates selling a set of them but the mondeo ones
fit much better IMO.only done about 200miles with brand new yokos

Ramonster

I like them both But if I had to choose I'll go for the old one's

NUTTIN RILLA

Personaly i dont think the escos rims look right, theres just something about them, maybe cos they stick out to much i would stick with your old ones

DanRSturbo

Now with the white wheels on a red car, that look's lovely

stevos1

your always moanin about how yours rub
