WHICH WHEELS SUIT A SAPH COS THE BEST???
I HAVE A NEAR MINT SET OF 17" DIAMOND CUT RS 7'S AND A NEAR MINT SET OF ESCOS WHEELS, I CANT DECIDE WHICH TO KEEP??!!

 

Diamond Cuts above escos wheels everytime

My old wheels



My new wheels

 

Your car looks stunning pal, why did you change the wheels?? What size tyres on the 17's?

 

what colour is your sapph? what aesthetic mods? any pics?

 

Hi, white 4x4 on J plate, now external mods...... siemens 55's, t34.63, wasted spark, bd14's, alloy int and rad etc etc just running her in at th mo, back to James at MSD on Thursday for full boost / fuel set up was thinking about als, what do you reckon?

 

Diamond cuts for me too

here is a couple of pics of mine.

 

if it was me id get rid of both i have to say rs,7s look far to show and shine and escort wheels look nasty i like rl7,s / th2,2 / flat face comps / 5 spoke comps / rodell 122 / and the escort monte style comps

 

Even tho i have a set i agree the rs7's are a bit show and shine, very easy to kerb if your not extra careful and you cant put big brakes behind them.

They do look good though!

I've been thinking about some comps for a while now, but i also fancy just putting standard rims back on????

 

Thanks mate, changed as the RS7s were on the car for 7 years, so wanted a change and moved to 18s
Tyres on the 17s were 215/40/17, no scrubbing either
Always liked the RS7s as a cracking wheel

 

My old white one was on RS7's

 

RS7s all the way unless you want bigger brakes

Mine on RS7s



then changed to a set of hocks as the RS7s were like a 50 pence piece

 

Best wheels are down to your choice, personaly i prefer something motorsport inspired.
As long as they are 8" WIDE all round and the correct offset to fill the arches.
Different is good, here are the 2 sets of wheels i have.

ULTRALITES 8x17



BRAID WINRACE A wheels 8x16

 

Out of the two i would prefer the RS 7s but its Lattice or sharktooths for me all day long but of course limited with brakes

 

i think they look good on both mate but as i have already had rs7's i would go for escort cossie wheels

 

Had both, rs7 win for me, unless you need the money, then the escos wheel is another excellent choice

 

standard lattace wheels that have been diamond cut

 

like on my sapp

 

Thanks for all your feedback...... I thought i was decided on rs 7's, but after this post i now dont have any idea!!! I have spent a fortune on my 4x4 and should be running 400 bhp after running in. I do want bigger brakes so therefore this will dictate which wheels i will go for!!! I am thinking the ultralite 8x17's in grey on my white sapphire, anyone got em on a white sapphire?

 

Have you had a look on the saph database on here bound to have lots of different examples

 

escort cossie wheels every time

 

Old pic ....but cant wait to get my hocks back on ....

 

I no what i would keep...

 

If your running standard brakes your gonna need bigger for that setup

 

Hocks
