Default i think someones tellig me lies

was talking to a fella the other day at the body shop where i took my car he was having his red escort cosworth painted or something

anyway after getting in grossed in convo about his mota he said when he bought it he had the option (from fords) to have 16's or 17's

surely this cant be right........17 inch escort cossie wheels from ford!

at that point i sorta said i had to go.........but am still wondreing i'm sure its bollocks personally

There are some 17" or 18" OEM look EsCos wheels about, but they were not a dealer option.

they are 18's not 17's and are not made by ford, someone recently got some made using the pattern of a 16'' ford rim.

Ford have always sold wheels made for them, these were always available for ANY car including escy.
My dad had the OPTIONAL wheels on his xr3, as steel was standard, in germany at least, it was a german spec car but right hand drive for the forces, alloys, cloverleaf ones were an optional extra.
