Thanks for the photos mate. Love the look of your white one. Best looking series 2 ive seen. Not really sure what to do. Twins is making me a bumper similar to the one on his red series 2. Mines stripped with a roll cage like yours too. Its in red. Has 17" black multispokes of somesort at the moment. Dont look bad, just want something different. Il keep a set of 15s with R888s for track days. Not sure if mk1 focus rs wheels would be a good move or not. Might have to do some modifying to make fit too?

EsCos rims look awesome - especially on a slammed car. Mondeo versions aren't too bad either - just depends if you prefer the dished look of the EsCos rims more or not. I had a set of the Mondeo versions on my old XR;



7 spoke (soft) look great too, and I nearly got a set, but then came across my all time favourite rims (for a mk4/S2) - Kosei Snipers;




I first saw them on a blue S2 that was in Fast Ford (must have been back in 98/99) and instantly fell in love with them; 17's with 205/40's and a 35/40mm drop just works perfectly - all the ratio's are just right.

I think IIRC, I even managed a straight swap with my Mondeo rims for those Kosei's too

Standard wheels I would have but don't fit over my brakes so rs7 spoke softlines all the way I would have them on any ford or diamond cut 7spokes on a series 1

I think ronal turbos look cool they are the same size as standard rs wheels so no modding and it don't put the steering geometry out.

That looks really smart mate.

I've always loved clean standard wheels. But escort cosworth wheels look superb, although my all time favourites have got to be anthracite comp th2's on a red rst.
