should look ok on imolas i reckon although i think you seem like you are far too bothered about what other people think of how your cars look IMHO, so its nice to see you making your own decision for once.

I would concur that they are not the best quality

But I think the imola would be one of the stronger designs

Considering the car is never likely to turn a wheel, I can't really see that being an issue

I love them on escort cossie rims, think they look tough as hell. Found a pic of my old 2wd saph last night, I put ATP Torsions on it.. that was a few years ago.

And while you're at it, ditch the ART can on the poor R1 and treat it to some class... Akrapovic



I've had a sudden urge to buy a Flint grey 2wd and fit a set of escort cossie rims over the past few days (been checking ebay too)

What a crock of shit - the TSWs don't even use heat treated alluminium. We WILL see a post in a few months slating these wheels and wishing you had bought some proper ones, as the TSWs won't be round for long .

I didn't say they were shit because the didn't cost much, I said they were shit because they weren't heat treated .

...how do you know these new wheels aint?....Maybe you talking about the old ones...which incidentally i had some old ones on my original saff which did many trips...at fast pace....i remember blowing your missus away in her scooby,oh and i was chased by the five-o

...i will however concede and say the laquar peeled after a year and they looked poor for it...LOL....but i feel ANY alloy no matter how expensive will do it seeing as i used it in the winter!

So to you Mr Rainbird
