why not 18īs MO?
Although I have them fitted, now I changed my mind.
I thing the best choice is 17īs CXN

Very nice wheels indeed Lamb Chop. Dont like the similar ones with gold centres though. Personally I always liked Esc Cos rims on a black three door, they're the nuts. They seem to look good on lots of fords, I've got them on my white Saff. The new Comp MO six spoke is Top of the Pops now though, like one the black one in this months Performance Ford. I'm now actually thinking of changing my wheels for the first time in six years for them. Never liked the five spoke much.

Thanks mate, the black ones are the ones from my sig repainted but also the rears have been made wider.

used to have old style 18" comp on my car like the ones above and they do look fantastic. I just fancied something a little more inkeeping with the era of the car thats why I changed.

After Seeing all this CXN's and they do look mint i'm thinking of selling my 17" Old Skool MO's and getting at set so I had a look at the Compomotive site and at the 3 Piece Split rims and came over these which you can get in 18" and upto 12.5" Wide, I think I have found my new purchase!!
Who needs a house of there own anyway??!!

Just got these done - they need some polishing and assembly and have to remove the powdercoat where the nut face is.

They are a metallic charcoal and the pics do not do them justice.

Now just got to fork out some money to get tyres for the second set :cry:

they look amazing Lincoln, love the genuine BBS splits. I take it you have the hubs and all the gubbins to tighten them?

LINCOLN 20-06-2007 11:07 PM

I have made a centrelock adaptor that mounts to and is retained by the wheel nuts on the original stub axle – it overhangs the hub – its thickness is 8mm – I am them mounting a brake disc bell to the back of this centrelock hub adaptor – therefore no extra thickness so wheel offset improved. I will get some pics – but here are some drawings.

I have since removed the middle part of the hub adaptor to make it look a little more "racey".

as for rims, i think any 5 to 7 spoke gun metal rims would be slick on the moonstone cossie.

Also if anyone can add a picture of mine to this thread as i'm not sure how to? in for sale section of RSOC site under NMS 3dr.

Cheers.

Will.
