Default larger std wheels? any good photo shoppers?

Just wondering, would an escort cossie /Rst look good on thier standard wheels, but re-made in larger sizes? How good would escos wheels look in 18"x10? anyone fancy doing a photoshop please?


Also, how much do you recon it would cost to make a set of wheels?

was thinking about it earlier, they look awsome on std rims, but just a bit too small, anyone got a good side pic of one with std rims?


I am going to do a bit of research into gettin some made up, recon it would be between Ł1500-Ł2000 a set though

allready looked in to this last year and its a no goer as they whould have to make a mould, test it, crash it the list goes on and it whould cost a lot to get set up and you whouldnt get your money back evern if you sold loads off them

I wasn't thinking about casting the wheels, If you remember PJ motorsports RS500 rep, that had 18" billet machined wheels on it, were in the region of Ł1600 for four, but they were split rims, so don't know if that would make them easier to manufacture or harder, and thus affecting cost

silly question benni, can you see if you can "dish" the wheels a bit more, so the width stays with the diameter?

i can just imagine the weight of these wheels

standard Escos rims weigh a ton,you'd bust a driveshaft trying to run an 18" version

but they do look MEGA cool though
