Default 18 INCH COSSIE RIMS.?? OTHER FORD RIMS??

Saw these for sale at DONNINGTON today and wondered if they will make other ford rims in bigger sizes???


Who here would buy

1.17 inch turbo doglegs
2.17 inch pepperpots
3.17 inch s1 7 spokes

Think they would make a killing.

Its not easy I tell you! You need a big initial outlay and unless you sell shit loads they will be massivly expensive.
My 18" monte wheels are Ł300 each (Ł1200 set of 4) and thats just about covers the costs let alone make any money out of doing it. I've not done the 18" Monte wheel for money thou and my limited edition run of 120 rims is over half sold now so they will remain a rarity after the run is completed as most have bought sets of 5 so that only 25ish sets entering the market and a lot are going abroad, but I agree with the above comment Esc Cos owners are far more willing to put their hand in their pocket then most RS owners only ONE set of my wheels is going on a Saph at the moment

the et25 offset will be ok as most saffs are running standard escos rims at this but on an 18 you will need to do minor arch mods i reckon. dont fancy your chances of getting an et15 on without catching bad.

The Monte wheels are availible in ET15-ET35. so ET35 is the best for a sierra. Give me a side on pic of your car and I'll get photoshopping
