Been looking at them on different cars, just wondered why some look different to others, like this first picture of this escos -



the start of the spokes are set in abit on the rims, but on this saph the spokes start at the edge



is it something you ask for when buying them or is it cause it's a escos and the offset difference? Personally don't like the escos ones

 

offset as you said.

spokes to the edge looks much nicer than a dish on Mo's IMO

 

I prefer the Saph wheels too

 

mine too

god demand for the old style on the escos will go up even more

 

wonder what the new style mo's would look like on a mk4 golf

 

Are they the same size though?

 

ive got new style mo,s

et38 and 8" wide and they go in a bit like the esc cos

 

get um photoshopped , think they be to motorsporty for a golf, think the golf would suit genuine audi/volks wheels better

 

interesting, any pics?

 

pete, yeah i know.

currently were going for RS6 wheels.

but now she wants BBS rims, she's got expensive tastes now, wonder were the mrs got that from

will get someone to photoshop it.

 

some bbs rims the style of the M3 CSL wheels would look

but also with the price tag

 

liking these

heres mine

 

yeah i would like her to get the BBS split rims, but like 2k

so i think she will go for the BBS RC's in 18's

 

BBS RCs

 

i looked into the LM, not available in ford 4 stud . thought about converting to granada 5 stud hubs which fit straight on but still couldnt get stud pattern/ ofset right

 

there different aswell, would have thought they'd be the same offset as the saph

 

If you've not done it yet mate, I think I know somebody who can help

 

please mate

you on msn?

 

No sorry, PM or Email fella

 

mine are 8x17, et35 on the front & 25 (escos fitment) on the rear

 

Its not offset is it? I think its different widths.

 

think the saph has 8in aswell though

so surely the the 3dr should look the same

 

Negative gives the deep dished look whilst positive brings the rims closer to outer edge like the sapph above.

 

 

 

its all down to widths and not offset

only 9 and 10 inch are stepped

 

ex fucking lactly.

offset can affect dish, but only due to the fact that lower offset wheels CAN have a bigger dish if they made like that.

8in hasnt got a dish, its punishment for fitting such a pussy width rim to your car

9in has got a small dish, like on that escos.

10in has a fairly good dish for a 1piece wheel, over 2inches

 

yours are 9" aren't they , thats why they are slighlty dished

 

What about this?

Are these good offset?

 

I reckon one set are 17" and the other are 18" (no dish)

 

bill

these are defo 9x18




and these are 8x18



the outer lip is almost flat

marco

 

My mistake then bud - but my 17's are slightly dished

 

sorry bill it's not the dish thats my mistake, it's the outer lip

 

Same difference (I knew what you meant) now you mention it, the EsCos does look like the wider wheel as I remember Martoon's looking quite rude like that, only more so (10" iirc).

Hope you and yours are well, long time no see.

 

Edited......new stlye/old style MO confusion on my part

 

Glad I bought 8x18 over the 9x18 for my Esc

 

the saph ones look better, is there no chance you can get es cos ones like
that, i quite fancy a wheel change

 

my wheels as per the pic are 9x18 et 20

 

look above
